[Opensim-users] transitioning assets from Second Life to OpenSim

[Robert Klein]

I have several friends in SL who each have many full project builds and want
to do this exact same thing. Many of their builds contain all sorts of
buildings and objects they purchased or built themselves and trying to move
these projects has been a scary proposition to say the least. Trying to
decide where to even begin has kept most of them in SL. They are waiting for
an "easy solution" to just pack and unpack their regions. This might be a
good topic to start on the OpenSimulator wiki if it hasn't already. Here in
America we have moving companies like Global Van Lines, you call them and
they come pack your house up in their truck, drive to your new place and
unpack it. Might be a good business opportunity for moving out of SL.
