[Opensim-dev] Region module project for addition to forge

[Diva Canto]

Hello Kevin,

I think Melanie manages the forge, but she must be busy.

The forge made sense a few years ago. These days, with so many [better] 
source control services out there for free, I'm not so sure it makes 
sense anymore. Plus, it contributes to the load on the opensimulator.org 
server that is crying for retirement and medical attention...
I have all of my addons to OpenSim in github. You may consider doing 
that too.

Cheers,
Diva
