[Opensim-users] Opensim and accessibility by non-technical end users

[John Sheridan]

If I may chime in - ultimate super awesome idealistic (and likely 
pipe-dream) view of the future from my end.  Light weight web based 
viewers that allow for just the basics such as rendering / movement, 
basic inventory (changing of attachments, clothing, organization of 
folders), joining / leaving of groups, and chat.  Heck, maybe even the 
extras outside of rendering / movement could be left out of the viewer 
component and added in as external pieces to the containing web page 
which should in theory make a web viewer even more simplistic and light 
weight.  For "power" users that need the full on facilities like 
building / editing, groups management, land settings, estate settings, 
and so on - use a regular installed viewer.
