<div dir="ltr">While I am somewhat disappointed by this decision I think it will probably be a good choice. We've pulled in other features from forks in the past and it's worked out fairly well although it's often is more work on our part. I'll still request that your developers join our IRC channel (<a href="http://irc.freenode.net">irc.freenode.net</a> #opensim-dev) and make use of this list while designing your physics implementation as we do have a fair bit of experience doing this sort of thing and may be able to help you as well as help ourselves later when we do pull your code.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Aug 23, 2015 at 7:47 PM, Maxwell, Douglas CIV USARMY RDECOM (US) <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:douglas.maxwell3.civ@mail.mil" target="_blank">douglas.maxwell3.civ@mail.mil</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p>The MOSES project is not suggesting, alluding, or hinting at anything. I am stating for the record, based on our experiences with the code acceptance practices of the Open Simulator project, that the process is subjective.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The MOSES project will longer submit patches. This decision is based on the advice of one of the Open Simulator developers. We will be working strictly from our public GitHub. We will announce when code is ready for pulls. You may do with it as you wish,
and we will be available for consult should you want to modify it for inclusion in the Open Simulator codebase. We are also writing a detailed "Open Sim PhysX API" document that you will find useful. This decision allows for you to work at the pace you are
accustomed to and it will not impact our schedule.</p>
<div>
<p> </p>
<p>Although we are no longer submitting patches, if you work with us we can ensure the code that produced is in a state you would find immediately ingestible.</p>

<p>Good Luck.</p>

</font><br>
</div>
<div></div>
</div>
<font size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt">
<div>It has been suggested that the decisions for acceptance/rejection of
<br>
patches into OpenSimulator is arbitrary. That is not the case. The <br>
decisions, however, aren't entirely mechanizable: some of the criteria <br>
cannot be codified in something as simple as a code style checker.<br>
<br>
The documentation for developers on the Wiki [1] has lots of good <br>
information, but it was missing what I think is a very important piece: <br>
compliance of the patches with the architectural principles of the <br>
project. Here it is:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.metaverseink.com/blog/opensim/policies-for-patching-opensimulator/" target="_blank">http://www.metaverseink.com/blog/opensim/policies-for-patching-opensimulator/</a><br>
<br>
I hope this helps clarify things.<br>
