[Opensim-users] Groups Implementation Discussion (Ai Austin)

[Ralf Haifisch]

+1

It is very important to use a intelligent open framework AND NOT any
Approach that needs fixed ports etc. like the stone old voice in SL.

I did discuss that with lindens and lost the only realy interested company 
while the hype time (3D is only a 0,1% of my Rl job atm) because the
implemented
technology was not acceptable from a firewall/routing perspective.  It is
nice
for single user or organization with not governance needs.

So it must by (from transport) something that is a holepuncher, similar to
skype.

Using https-tunnel e.g.   

Maybe it would be a nice chance to do the security groups "SL style", so one
with a SL viewer could build/interact inworld.

But if we use Jabber/XXMP for the communication part, a SL client would only
be limited In group communication - BUT could still use a second software
able to talk that protocol.   

Wouldn´t brake compatibility where it hurts.


Cheers,
Ralf

I would really encourage a Jabber/XMPP approach for group (and indeed 
individual) which open up all sorts of opportunities to link to 
external messengers, buddy systems with geo-location (think of the 
9opportuinities for in world visualisation of collaborative and 
distributed teams), intelligent communications things too. Ai
