Dear OpenSim users,<br>
<br>
I'm an Austrian student and I'm writing my master's thesis about
flexible learning environments in virtual worlds. The practical part
of the work will be a web-based room configuration and reservation
tool. The configured rooms (walls, chairs, tables, whiteboards, ...)
should be generated automatically by the application within an
OpenSim region.<br>
<br>
I just started with OpenSim and I have read about Application
Plugins, Region Modules (which i could use to create and manage the
objects) and the REST features. I have some questions concerning the
realisation in OpenSim:<br>
<ul>
<li>What's are possible ways to communicate with an external
service (e.g. the room manager)?</li>
<li>How can objects (chairs, tables, whiteboards, ...) be crated
by scripting?</li>
<li>How can the content or the state of an object (e.g.
whiteboards) be saved externally?</li>
<li>How can I save the state of an object immediately after it has
been changed (e.g. whiteboard content modified)?<br>
</li>
<li>In order to create a RESTful API, would it be a suitable
approach to extend the class RestPlugin?</li>
<li>Would it be an appropriate approach to write a region module,
which creates and manages the rooms and the objects within the
rooms?</li>
</ul>
Also links to useful information about the related topics would help
me a lot.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any hint in advance!<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Karl Haas<br>
