Guys,<BR>
<BR>
first of all, sorry for the cross-post, just wanted to get maximum attention for a worthy cause.<BR>
<BR>
OpenSims 2nd birthday is coming up (jan 29)<BR>
<BR>
I don't propose cheesy 'cultural' events; but:<BR>
<BR>
a) we should have a page on the wiki where everybody could post a short notice about where and when and on what grid parties will be held.<BR>
b) I propose the hypergrid community start linking their party regions so we all can go club hopping.<BR>
c) As a birthday present to ourselves, I propose a facelift and clean up.<BR>
<BR>
What I mean with c) is:<BR>
* Last I saw, our default Library content node sucked.<BR>* Now I'm looking around, I see quite a lot of people making high-grade content available under various compatible licenses.<BR>* Let's work to rally together a high-quality default library. <BR>
* Users, you find content libraries, try it and report it.<BR>
* Creators, you work with devs to find good ways of importing it into the lib.<BR>
* Devs, you start thinking on how to make the importing really really easy.<BR>
* What I would like to see is a crem-de-la-creme default library node, Making OpenSim look really god damn good out-of-the-box<BR><BR>
anybody up for that?<BR><BR>
Also,<BR>
<BR>
* The default island; we really should have a better default island. With some demo content allowing people to toy around with various aspects of opensim.<BR>
* You grid people, couldn't you set up a region where a group of people could work cooperative to make a demo 'welcome' island, and then just save-oar it so we can distribute it with the core distro? So noobs could just load-oar demo.xml and hey presto!<BR>
<BR>
And as an added bonus;<BR>
<BR>
* We should have a simple 'create avatar' as part of the opensim ecosystem. With this I mean something in the 'register user' or 'create user' that allows to specify a template for that avatar.<BR>
* Tribal just recently added support for inventory cloning and wearing into the trunk, could you php registration guys (yo redux!) work with us to make a nice 'choose avatar' step in the registration process?<BR>
<BR>
Here's saying skol, salut, chin-chin in anticipation of our third year together. This is going to be a wonderful year!<BR> <BR>Best regards,<BR>Stefan Andersson<BR>Tribal Media AB<BR> <BR>Join the 3d web revolution : <A href="http://tribalnet.se/">http://tribalnet.se/</A><BR><BR></body>
