Ok. I agree, we really do need groups. I also like your idea for allowing outside access for other apps, though I think we should work on getting them usable first.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Apr 3, 2009 at 12:38 PM, Ai Austin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ai.ai.austin@googlemail.com">ai.ai.austin@googlemail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I altered the subject line to get us onto MUCH more positive things<br>
guys and gals... this is a Great community, and we rely on many<br>
personal time commitments from us all. Â Don't spoil it.<br>
<br>
I picked up on this post from Charles, and some 1-1 chat I had with<br>
Justin yesterday on the same subject, because I think this is a<br>
critical area that does need attention. Â I was in a meeting this week<br>
with with folks from IBM Hursley who might be able to encourage such<br>
development amongst their own researchers keen on the area.<br>
<br>
Lets find out what the state of play is, what exists and what is really needed.<br>
<br>
For my own tuppence/two cents/two rubles (to try to be culturally<br>
sensitive :-) ) Â we should at least make sure we can do SL style<br>
group related plots, object change permissions and the like. Â But we<br>
should definitely not limit groups to the paltry 25 per avatar... I<br>
have FAR more groups I am involved with and have to move stuff around<br>
between avatars even in our early SL work being involved with a<br>
lot  f educators and research groups on our areas at the Virtual<br>
University of Edinburgh.<br>
<br>
I wonder also if some sort of web interface to an externally defined<br>
user information, avatars information, groups, roles set up that can<br>
be externally managed as well as supported internally would make<br>
sense to move this to a way to link up a social networking site with<br>
DB based information with va range of virtual worlds including Opensim.<br>
