The 'Framework' thing came from when we thought the project would be used as a "Library Core" with several "business implementations"<BR>
<BR>
(remember, we started out with the ambition to do _Scene_ optional...)<BR>
<BR>
The "Library Core" would consist of just the things that all OpenSim applications would need to run, ie, a tight set of assemblies with a lot of interfaces, and some abstract basic implementations.<BR><BR>Even if I think it was a good idea (Tribal uses OpenSim that way) I guess that's not really where the project is headed at the moment - over time, stuff has been put into Framework out of laziness (not wanting to do that refactor/introduce that new project et c)<BR>
<BR>
So, if anybody wants to take a stab at formulating some new approach, be my guest.<BR>
<BR>
We (MW and I) have already suggested an MVC-ish approach a couple of time, but there never was any real comments on that, so I guess it went dead in the water. :D<BR>
<BR>
I'm a firm believer that we don't necessarily have to make big rewrites; as long as we have a common image of the goal; and that we all work towards that goal when doing our daily design decisions.<BR>
