HyperGrid Link list for OpenSim's 2ndbirthday</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I think this is a great idea, but the questions that come to
mind, are: how is the mapping handled for these sub lists and how does a user
say that they don't want these sub lists on their map. I think the number of
options required could be quite high and think its something that needs some
thought before any attempt to add these functions is made.<BR><BR><B><I>Dahlia

might also be interesting if there could be some sort of p2p transfer of
hypergrid links, where a web site might send a list of seed regions, and as
a link were made of each of those regions, another exchange could occur
where each party exchanges a list of public regions. That way a larger grid
could configure itself and individual regions could join in without
requiring an update to a central web site.<BR><BR>

just added some very initial support for reading Hypergrid link data from
xml files, that includes support for the xml files being on a
webserver.<BR><BR>The xml file has a format like:<BR><BR><PRE><Nini><BR><BR> <Section Name="Region1"> <BR> <Key Name="xloc" Value="1002"/><BR> <Key Name="yloc" Value="1006" /><BR> <Key Name="externalPort" Value="9006" /><BR><BR> <Key Name="externalHostName" Value="<A href="http://osl2.nac.uci.edu" target=_blank>osl2.nac.uci.edu</A>" /><BR> <Key Name="localName" Value="OSGrid-Gateway" /><BR><BR> </Section><BR> <Section Name="Region2"> <BR> ...<BR> </Section><BR>
...<BR></Nini></PRE><BR>And to make a region load it and create the
links, you use the console command: link-region <URI>
[<excludeList>]<BR><BR>The excludeList parameter is so that certain
links in those xml files are ignored.<BR><BR>With the format:
excludeList<xml SectionName>[;<xml SectionName>]. <BR><BR>The
main thinking for this is so that a single list for a certain group/event
could be created. Then everyone interested in it, just adds their own
region data to the list. <BR><BR>But so they can also point their own
region at that list, they just add the section name they used to the
exclude list, so that it doesn't try to link to itself.<BR><BR>If we can
find a way of having a xml file on a webserver that people can add new
entries to (maybe through a form script). Then I think it would be a good
idea to have such a list for OpenSim's 2nd birthday.<BR><BR>Although this
idea really needs some sort of automapping or at least better
configuration of the map locations that the regions are placed at.
<BR><BR>I think if everyone just agrees that a certain area on the map [so
say x,y - x+25, y+25] is reserved for link regions, that it is workable
for now. <BR>
