[Opensim-dev] Documentation for IClientNetworkServer

[Justin Clark-Casey]

A great place to do this would be on new wiki page(s) linked from [1].  Please feel free just to create a wiki account 
and start editing!  I haven't yet written up any general information the LL viewer-server protocol and it would be great 
to have some.

Another place for protocol information might be the libomv wiki [2], though on a (very) casual glance I don't see any 
protocol-level doc apart from the auto-extracted UDP message templates.

The other sources of protocol information would be the LL wiki.
