These are all great ideas. The only problem is whether someone will be
able to pull this off in time for the celebrations. I might take on
this, except that I have another trip coming up, and I'd rather spend
my OpenSim-time until then making sure that TPs are rock solid; so I
don't think I'll have time to do this.<br>
<br>
The next best thing is this list:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Hypergrid#Public_Hypergrid_Nodes">http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Hypergrid#Public_Hypergrid_Nodes</a><br>
<br>
People can add their node info there; and everyone else can add that
info to their startup_commands or whatever other link-region means they
use.<br>
<br>
In the UCI Grid, for example, I already have several of those nodes on
the Map; I will add all of them as they show up on that list. And i'll
also add any others that are not there but that show up on this other
list:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Second_Birthday">http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Second_Birthday</a><br>
<br>
So, unless someone pulls something automated soon, plan B is to do it
manually.<br>

I was hoping that someone in the community would make a simple website
and host it. <br>
<br>
I guess if no one else takes it up, then I'll have to see.<br>

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>

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>

style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I've
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>
<Section Name="Region1">
<Key Name="xloc" Value="1002"/>
<Key Name="yloc" Value="1006" />
<Key Name="externalPort" Value="9006" />
<Key Name="externalHostName" Value="<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://osl2.nac.uci.edu" target="_blank">osl2.nac.uci.edu</a>" />
<Key Name="localName" Value="OSGrid-Gateway" />
</Section>
<Section Name="Region2">
...
</Section>
...
</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>
