Opernsimulator futur feature. 

Its great to read the interest of dedicated developpers in pursuing the development of opensimulator .  
Similar to blender success story, Opensim  evolution is  MAINLY due to its  global community of dedicated volunteers. 

But opensimulator project  lacks  the capacity to attract founding  to provide developer with the grants they need for success .  

Per blender web site the Blender organization numbers some twenty-eight employees, working from Amsterdam, remotely, and on a grant basis. 
And even if autodesk is is it main competitor  with about 4 billions US in sale last year Blender foundation was  able  to attack  23 millions visitors and 14 million download in 2020 to its web site. 

Its found raising web page  https://fund.blender.org/ show  their capacity to raise money  and makes it easy for whom  download the software to make their contribution.  In 2020 their grant budget was  € 1,131,780   For further reading see : https://download.blender.org/institute/blender-annual-report-2020-v1.pdf



So my own wishes  for opensimulator futur is developping an opensource financing  arm to the project.
