I don't know what OGP is. I'm looking at this specific document, and
it's as generic as a document can be. Specifically, it doesn't say
anything about how to use the basic protocols HTTP+REST+CAPs. The
different uses will produce quite different systems, I think.<br>

<div>If I recall correctly, and I might be wrong, but the
conversation I had with the lindens about OGP had them focused on their
AgentDomain. Sort of a "super grid server" if you will. When quizzed
about a full handoff, they said "we arent working on that".<br>
<br>
So, my impression about OGP is it extends the linden grid, but is only
half of an interop solution.<br>

OGP/Capabilities<br>
</font><br>
Finally Linden Lab produced an interesting document:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-lentczner-ogp-base-00.txt"
target="_blank">http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-lentczner-ogp-base-00.txt</a><br>
<br>
I think capabilities are the right concept here, and I'm pleased to see
<br>
them taking center stage in that document. In particular the hint at <br>
inventory-related capabilities, which will allow secure inventory
access.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure I buy into some of the details, but the basic combination <br>
HTTP+REST+Capabilities --> +1.<br>
<br>
The Event Queue...well... It sucks. I think we need to look at <br>
alternatives for posting things to the client. I can't believe there <br>
aren't any; I think there are, but maybe they all come down to this, <br>
event queues on the server-side, whatever their form.<br>
<br>
If there are no better alternatives, then we need at least to rethink <br>
what the EQ is all about. If the EQ CAP is not given to the regions,
but <br>
stays within the user's home system, that might work. Also, if there <br>
would be several different *types* of Event Queues that might work well
<br>
too; so for example, we might give the social-net-related EQ CAP <br>
(groups, IM, etc) to the social net component without compromising
agent <br>
transfers. The more I think about this, the more I'm convinced that <br>
regions have no business in agent transfer activities, other than <br>
negotiating the capabilities when agents come.<br>
<br>
I really like that document, I must say, but it's strength is also its <br>
weakness. It's just about the basic levels. It says nothing about how <br>
those things are driven higher up.<br>
