the Texture Data is encapsulated within the XML file it would lead to very
large XML files with repetitive data. Perhaps a dual strategy here? Command
line option to include the TextureEntry and data within the XML, or write
the geometry and texture all to a single directory. Loading would use the
same scheme.</font>

Considering the current sad state of our computer programs, software development
is clearly still a black art, and cannot yet be called an engineering discipline.

<br><font size=3>Well Load/Save xml are working, its just that the format
of the xml for LLUUID, LLVector3 and LLQuaternion have changed. So if you
do a save-xml now and then try to load it, it should work. But trying to
load a old xml file won't. So it depends if we need to make sure those
old files work, if we spend time "fixing" it. <br>
<br>
Maybe we should take this chance to break other things too. Like Stephan
said, we should get TextureEntry into a readable form. There are a few
other changes we might want to make to. As we are coming up to version
0.5 we could say 0.5 load/save-xml is not compatible with 0.4 files. <br>

<br><font size=3>We're getting towards the end of the year, and OpenSim
has improved<br>
dramatically since 0.4. On the short list of new features is: <br>
* Physics (ODE is impressively stable at this point)<br>
* Grid Mode (though there are still some asset issues)<br>
* Animations<br>
* IM, IRC Bridge<br>
* Terraforming<br>
* Throttling (though not a user facing feature)<br>
(I'm sure I've missed some, please respond with other new features)<br>
<br>
It seems like we should pick a couple of things that would be good to<br>
"finish off" this month, then declare a 0.5 release around the
first of <br>
the year.<br>
<br>
My inclination is to say that bandaiding up current grid asset /<br>
inventory to functioning state would be in that short list. Others?<br>
