I agree with Alberto that is a waste of time to adapt opensim for the<br>
new gadget coming from Linden. It remembers me to a client I have that<br>
each week comes with a new shit for testing and call it "a<br>
revolution".<br clear="all"><br></blockquote><div><br>Believe me, people have been waiting for Shared Media on a Prim for > 3 years.<br>It is not just some gadget. Just because it doesn't pass your personal litmus<br>
test, does not make it unworthy. <br></div></div><br>Lets leave aside the client side for a moment. Others will grab the SnowGlobe<br>source and do a 2.x generation viewer that can access the new features, and<br>give us the best of both worlds.. client and server side. That's a given. We're<br>
not going to have to suffer with the SL 2.x viewer for that long...<br><br>The important issue here is that people who wish to do presentations, museums<br>and all manner of rich media work, can suddenly do that in SL. That is a great<br>
step forward. You would not believe how many meetings I have been in where<br>people are pining for that...<br><br>But, the real holy grail is to be able to do that, and benefit from all of the flexibility<br>(and cost savings) of working in the OpenSim environment. It's not a gadget.<br>
It's a game changer, and much better minds than mine have outlined exactly<br>why [1]<br><br>Dont confuse the new functionality with the old non-interactive web on a prim (which<br>also sucked up the parcel media channel). That was a gadget.<br>
<br>But now we're there ;) The real thing is interactive and worth it to lots of interested parties.<br><br>Daniel<br><br>[1] <a href="http://blogs.betatechnologies.info/gwynethllewelyn/2010/02/24/second-life-2-0-the-revolution">http://blogs.betatechnologies.info/gwynethllewelyn/2010/02/24/second-life-2-0-the-revolution</a><br>
