<DIV><BR></DIV>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

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

Re: [Opensim-dev] A Online HyperGrid Link list for OpenSim's

<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 Trimble <A

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>
<Section Name="Region1">
<Key Name="xloc" Value="1002"/>
<Key Name="yloc" Value="1006" />
<Key Name="externalPort" Value="9006" />

<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.
