Only comment I would have on it is that there is no MSSQL provider for this available yet. I had a quick look at the code last weekend, and it likely wouldn't take too long to put together but I've not had time for testing as yet. If it can be incorporated as a side-by-side either-or option that's great, 'cos it'll give us a little more time to implement and test on MSSQL, but if it's a complete replacement then I'll need to get to work on it asap. If it isn't going into the main svn then I don't want to waste my time working on something unnecessary :)
Happy for someone to ping me either way - I have no problem with doing work on this if it is to be adopted.

(Thanks Nebadon!) I'm unable to attend the office hours, so please allow me to contribute a little to the discussion here. At this stage, I don't expect Cable Beach to offer better performance over the existing asset server. Cable Beach does offer authentication built-in, though. This allows you to access your assets thorugh external (third-party) applications which may be other grids, editors, websites offering items for sale, etc. I suggested testing Cable Beach on some regions on OSGrid to see how it'll fare under real-world use. I believe Intel is currently using Cable Beach on their internal grid as well as ScienceSim[2], but I wanted to supplement that with some testing at OSGrid as well. Setting this up sooner rather than later could help identify issues introduced with needed changes, such as converting to Mono.Addins and using OpenSim's HTTP server. I figured it's possible to run Cable Beach in parallel with the current OSGrid asset server (same machine, different machine, up to you), and point a few regions that get some traffic to use this asset server. The asset server could use its own database (a copy of the current assets table?) or point at the current assets DB. Having said that, the end goal is to replace the existing asset server with Cable Beach in OpenSim core, and end up with only one asset server. So as far as I understand, there are two issues with Cable Beach as-is: 1. ExtensionLoader 2. HttpServer I will have a look[3] at using Mono.Addins instead of ExtensionLoader in Cable Beach. We can re-evaluate this situation later based on the results. Hopefully the upstream HttpServer can be updated as required so the DLL can be updated in OpenSim. This way the asset server can use the existing HTTP server. Any other comments or suggestions to move this forward?
