<pre wrap="">I kind of like the "verse" of metaverse in place of grid. It's short
and lends itself well to names like OSVerse, CentralVerse,
OpenSim.Verse.AssetServer.exe, and etc. The different verses are all
parts of the larger metaverse.

<pre wrap="">Actually, no cyberpun(k) intended; but 'Matrix' is a descriptive term
for this (legacy and rather unimaginative) arrangement of nodes. Quite
possibly the bland term 'table' would work as well. 'Lattice' is
probably what we want, what with groups of groups and all. (A lattice
can be formed by sub-lattices)
Or, why don't we just leave the 2d-flat earth notion of a
grid/matrix/table/lattice and move our mindsets more towards a 'Net',
'Whorl', 'Dispersion', 'Maelstrom' or 'Interjectory'?
Yours dispersed thru time and space,

PS: All this aside, I say we write everything LL or SL - trademark -
derivative -out- of the core and wiki ASAP. God only Knows where LL is
headed what with recent movements and events. Let's pose it 'the great
mental cast off' DS.
