<body class='hmmessage'>Ususally, how we want to go about stuff like this is:<BR>
<BR>
* There should be a project doing really cool stuff in the form of tools, applications and modules, like the hypergrid project, Rex Server, whathaveyou projects<BR>
* Whatever we can refactor in the core to do subclassing, extending and hooking easier for these cool peer/sub-projects, without losing soul, we should. These are the applications that drive our platform.<BR>* After proofed by time, if some parts of that cool project are deemed to fit within the OpenSim core vision, we should "pull up" code into core. Simple oo. ;-)<BR>
<BR>
Incidentally, we should also probably start to "push down" code into subprojects soon methinks.<BR> <BR>Best regards,<BR>Stefan Andersson<BR>Tribal Media AB<BR> <BR>Join the 3d web revolution : <A href="http://tribalnet.se/" target=_blank>http://tribalnet.se/</A><BR> <BR><BR><BR><BR>
