[Opensim-users] Windlight and LightShare in Opensim 0.7

[Karen Palen]

Well personally I would be happy if I could simply lead the sky and water
settings for my mars sim without having to make my users reset the parameter
after every logon!

Even setting the "mars.xml" sky as "Default.xml" in the viewer does not
always work!

Mantis on Tuesday - AFTER the demo! :-)
