[Opensim-dev] OpenSim Code

[Fernando Francisco de Oliveira]

hi Fleep / Chris

I'm working with OpenSim installers for some time, and got the Adam Frisby
to continue his work.

Any ideas that could improve usability and make the install easy for
individual or colective users are welcome.

I put a fork of the source project at
https://github.com/ffoliveira/OSGridLauncher

and today I started a OpenSim fork source , to do whatever I can to make
the end user easy to install it.

Thanx.
