<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sean,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>you are absolutely right. The technical discussion
should not be drowned by </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>enhancement requests
from the 'marketing guys'.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>However, while you dev guys are working hard to get
the core up to speed, someone must </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>plan ahead to
add the features that make this whole venture a success.</FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If we discuss the money and usability stuff in a
separate thread, how do we make sure </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>that we get
heard and you don't end up with an excellent implementation of an SL clone
- minus the hipe ?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>>I think that in world Money is one of those
places where the OpenSim<BR>>grid runners are going to need to provide code
appropriate to their<BR>>situation. Running a sim with no money is
easy. Money opens up all<BR>>sorts of other non technical issues:
privacy laws, taxes, refunds, etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>>It would be nice to avoid drowning out the
technical conversation on<BR>>list with lots of money
pontificating.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>>That being said, patches are always welcomed.
