[Opensim-users] Moving my animations/gestures from SL to OPenSIm

[Len Brown]

I was just reading a couple references to OpenSim on the Second Inventory
site.  On their FAQ page there is no "direct" mention of OpenSim, but an
indirect reference to megaprims can only be restored in OpenSim due to SL
restrictions.  And a reference to "backing up to share with a group and for
offline editing."  Offline editing, I assume, would have to mean, use in
OpenSim...
