These are all great ideas. The only problem is whether someone will be
able to pull this off in time for the celebrations. I might take on
this, except that I have another trip coming up, and I'd rather spend my
OpenSim-time until then making sure that TPs are rock solid; so I don't
think I'll have time to do this.
The next best thing is this list:
http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Hypergrid#Public_Hypergrid_Nodes
People can add their node info there; and everyone else can add that
info to their startup_commands or whatever other link-region means they use.
In the UCI Grid, for example, I already have several of those nodes on
the Map; I will add all of them as they show up on that list. And i'll
also add any others that are not there but that show up on this other list:
http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Second_Birthday
So, unless someone pulls something automated soon, plan B is to do it
manually.

well I wasn't planning/hoping to be the one who hosted this list myself.
I was hoping that someone in the community would make a simple website
and host it.
I guess if no one else takes it up, then I'll have to see.

Yours will be perfect, please drop the info so we can place a

I think this is a great idea, but the questions that come to
mind, are: how is the mapping handled for these sub lists and
how does a user say that they don't want these sub lists on
their map. I think the number of options required could be
quite high and think its something that needs some thought
before any attempt to add these functions is made.

It might also be interesting if there could be some sort
of p2p transfer of hypergrid links, where a web site might
send a list of seed regions, and as a link were made of
each of those regions, another exchange could occur where
each party exchanges a list of public regions. That way a
larger grid could configure itself and individual regions
could join in without requiring an update to a central web
site.

I've just added some very initial support for reading
Hypergrid link data from xml files, that includes
support for the xml files being on a webserver.
The xml file has a format like:
<Nini>
<Section Name="Region1">
<Key Name="xloc" Value="1002"/>
<Key Name="yloc" Value="1006" />
<Key Name="externalPort" Value="9006" />
<Key Name="externalHostName" Value="osl2.nac.uci.edu
<http://osl2.nac.uci.edu>" />
<Key Name="localName" Value="OSGrid-Gateway" />
</Section>
<Section Name="Region2">
...
</Section>
...
</Nini>
And to make a region load it and create the links, you
use the console command: link-region <URI>
[<excludeList>]
The excludeList parameter is so that certain links in
those xml files are ignored.
With the format: excludeList<xml SectionName>[;<xml
SectionName>].
The main thinking for this is so that a single list
for a certain group/event could be created. Then
everyone interested in it, just adds their own region
data to the list.
But so they can also point their own region at that
list, they just add the section name they used to the
exclude list, so that it doesn't try to link to itself.
If we can find a way of having a xml file on a
webserver that people can add new entries to (maybe
through a form script). Then I think it would be a
good idea to have such a list for OpenSim's 2nd birthday.
Although this idea really needs some sort of
automapping or at least better configuration of the
map locations that the regions are placed at.
I think if everyone just agrees that a certain area on
the map [so say x,y - x+25, y+25] is reserved for link
regions, that it is workable for now.
