[Opensim-users] Groups Implementation Discussion

Fri Apr 3 20:24:28 UTC 2009

Yes, there are two parts to the 'groups' problem. 

One part is the 'groups' permissions issues for land, objects, builds.

Another part is the 'group' messaging issue for communication between various groups, sort of like IM channels, if you will. One the second, I suppose we could go in the IRC or XMPP/Jabber direction, if we thought that might be more fruitful then building our own.

Personally, I am tending to focus on the second, but I admit that both are important.

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.

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.
