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

[Kevin Houlihan]

Hi Diva, thanks for the advice. I thought the forge made sense as a tool for
people looking for extensions to opensim, rather than for developers, since
it keeps everything opensim related together, though I certainly don't mind
having to use svn or anything. However, I don't want to burden the project
either. I see some projects on there are just placeholders that link to
github, so maybe I will do that.
