[Opensim-users] Groups Implementation Discussion

Fri Apr 3 20:05:34 UTC 2009

I think I saw commits recently regarding offline messaging that required
a little web code to implement... Melanie I think worked on it? If group
messaging was handled the same way, as long as things are clear on what
needs to be stored and where we'll happily do the MSSQL side for both.

Personally, group IMs I don't care about so much as group building
rights - can / could / should the two be handled separately? Group chat
can be handled outside of opensim without much fuss without too much
fuss, but building rights and permissions are integral.

I will be happely contribute with my knowledge of the MSSQL code and
make it work with a MSSQL database to.

Maybe also a idea to look into offline IM's. I already tried something
on this topic. It is in mantis under number 3232.

Coitainly.

As I think about it, there are a few parts. One is OpenSim packet
processing to enable the groups messages. Another is a connection to a
MySQL (or MSSQL) database to hold the messages.

In thinking about "groups", it seems to me that we can start small.
After all, we really only need to make sure the packet processing is
worked out and we can store a few messages in a MySQL table.

Personally, I would be delighted to see, say 1) 10 groups, 2) Max number
of messages of say 100 per group. 3) Max length of each message, say 256
characters.

That would get us off the ground and flesh out a complement to our
current IM implementation in OpenSim, methinks.
