[Opensim-users] Introduction

[Justin Clark-Casey]

Hi Garrett.  Regarding Hypergrid, I would hesitate to give a timeline.  It's a very complex and evolving architectural 
area.  However, there is sustained interest in it.

As for event listing, this is something that anybody could do at any time, just as people in the community have done 
stuff such as hypergrid and shopping websites, or even virtual worlds on demand.  The OpenSimulator project really just 
concentrates on the core server technology.
