Hey
there
Charles,<br><br>Thanks
for
posting
this.
I
would
like
to
put
out
a
call
to
grid<br>owners
to
help
form
the
grid
information
services
of
the
future.
I'm<br>one
of
the
active
developers
of
openviewer,
and
the
more
I
work
and<br>design,
there
more
I
feel
the
NEED
for
more
information
from
grid<br>owners!
=)
I
have
a
number
of
ideas
that
need
the
participation
of<br>opensim.
Personally
though,
I
believe
this
should
be
a
project<br>outside
of
opensim.
Here
are
a
few
examples
of
things
I
foresee
us<br>needing
in
the
immediate
future:<br><br>-
ability
to
autoregister
an
avatar
on
a
grid<br>-
ability
to
get
information
about
the
grid:
descriptions,
image/icon,<br>tags
of
what
type
of
content
(
sex,
language,
interests,
etc)<br>-
ability
to
get
some
measure
of
lag
between
the
client
and
server<br>-
ability
to
get
population
and
logged
on
information
of
avatars
externally<br><br>These
things
COULD
all
be
within
opensim,
but
what
I
would
like
to
do,<br>is
create
a
new
project.
I've
started
a
project
on
google
code
called<br>"thirdlife"
where
I
am
going
to
focus
my
efforts
on
grid
information<br>services.
If
any
of
you
all
are
grid
owners,
I'd
like
to
get
a
hold<br>of
you
to
try
to
figure
out
what
information
exactly
you
all
are<br>looking
to
expose
to
users.
Thanks!<br><br>-

I
am
sorry
to
open
yet
another
Pandora's
Box
this

two

folks
have
approached
me
as
the
OSGrid
Director
in
the
last
two
days
about<br>>
putting
experimental
software
on
the
grid
server
to
begin
prototyping
ideas<br>>
to
allow
an
avatar
to
log
onto
multiple
grids.<br>><br>>
I
have
told
both,
that
I
desire
to
stay
with
the
mainline
OpenSim
desires
as<br>>
this
evolves.<br>><br>>
I
think
the
issue
is
that
we
may
need
to
give
some
thought
to
pulling<br>>
together
some
of
the
ideas
from
the
various
parties
in
order
to
head
in
a<br>>
direction
that
lets
us
continue
to
lead
this
charge.<br>><br>>
