[Opensim-users] Make ODE and Meshmerizer the default options?

[Ai Austin]

>Does anybody on the list have a good reason for not switching defaults?


I would go for ODE and meshmerizer, as some basic kinds of 3d physics 
are needed to maintain the immersive feel and expectation of users in 
virtual worlds.

But we do need top make the instructions and process of what to 
incudes and  set up for the various environments a lot 
easier.  That's a documentation issue of course, and not something 
everyone needs to do.  But those folks (including me) trying their 
best to install clean environments and looking at upgrade paths can 
document some of this too/. We have a lot of out of date and 
conflicting advice and some documentation doe snot make clear that 
its (from svn dddd onwards).  I just spent nearly 3 days to get a 
0.6.6 system going from a 0.6.3 previous version, and I think we are 
"nearly" there as of this evening :-)  We are using UGRM (with R for 
A and I) services. Thanks for help from members of the community. We 
will document our experience e and make notes on the Wiki when it 
settles down and we are sure we have things right.
