[Opensim-users] Boat script for bullet engine

[Mister Blue]

There have been several requests for sample scripts  that are known to
work. With all the scripts floating around, it is hard to find the right
place to start.

If I was to start collecting such scripts, where should they be stored so
new scripters will find them?
