> Greetings Metaverse :)
>
> I am proud to announce the general availability of a new opensim web
> front-end called 'Gainsay', now available at GitHub.
>
> The design philosophy of this front-end is very straightforward, and it's
> featureset is exceedingly limited. It goes something like this:
>
> Featureset:
>  - allow anonymous web-originated requests for grid access via simple web
> form
>  - provide a means for a grid operator to review, approve, or remove
> requests supplied anonymously via the web
>
> This highly constrained feature set allows the system to be incredibly
> lightweight, as there is no need to support user login or related
> operations from the web. All administrative operations occur directly on
> the system in user space. Security is therefor inherited from the operating
> system.
>
> All code is in PHP; two html files with embedded PHP and three CLI PHP
> user space commands.
>
> It is very simple to set up, provided one has already installed apache,
> mysql, PHP and opensim (pretty typical toolchain dependencies+application
> in our community).
>
> Documentation was the first thing written, big fat readme included in the
> repo.
>
> The package isn't perfect yet (probably some typos here and there in the
> user feedback) and no doubt there are places the documentation could be
> touched up (and will be in the quite near future).
>
> It cries out for testing, and your feedback is not only appreciated but
> solicited. Find it at http://github.com/JamesStallings/gainsayWFE

> Thanks in advance!
