[Opensim-dev] Wormhole in OpenSIM?

I don't think it's lost in translation as I can read and understand 
Spanish -- it's funny that the translator transforms Hypergrid into 
Hypergreen :-)

You seem to be mixing many different things. The Linden viewer has its 
own version of http redirects. When we have virtual worlds on the 
regular web browser, the Hypergrid will use http redirects, no more no 
less. (I have a version of the Hypergrid that does exactly that)

But Hypergrid without control on the part of grid operators would be a 
really bad idea. Not all virtual worlds want to be part of it. And just 
because your grid links to, say, osgrid doesn't mean that osgrid wants 
to link back to yours. Just like on the web: just because your site 
links to, say, Slashdot doesn't mean that Slashdot wants to link back to 
your site. The static hyperlinks reflect social dynamics, like on the 
web or even like on twitter.
The process to discover virtual worlds that aren't linked needs 
additional services, like search or directories.
