[Opensim-users] XML2 and OAR

[Stefan Andersson]

One of my many 'TODO's is to at least outline document the current set of 'protocols' within OpenSim (the non-LL ones) separately, per function domain, on the wiki, with at least example messages, so we can start discussing what a 'better' protocol would be. (I started a page trying to figure out what xml3 should be, it's still there on the wiki...)

 

The rationale behind that is that people probably don't realize how much of OpenSim is accessible as web services, data waiting and yearning to be integrated.


(You all do realize that our ad hoc quick and dirty set of "just serialize the damn thing" pragmatic shortcuts are now probably running quite a meaty amount of the total non-commercial 3D content traffic in the world...)


Until I get time, anybody's welcome to beat me to it.


Best regards,
Stefan Andersson
