ROFL. Oh, it was the 'z' versus the 's' you were discussing.
I thought it was the "i" versus the "I".

region-module system
I'm not really a fan of UK zpelling,,, but I imagine people uzing grep could
zearch for "initiali"
I'll probably continue to uze the UZ englizh zpelling in my code ;)

ExtensionLoader is better, so I do think we should look at that. As I think it
is better to only have one system of loading plugins/modules.
As for initialise vs Initialize, hehe. Well personally I think it should stay
as it is. I really see no reason to change it. I do know of other opensource
projects that use initialise, Ogre being one. And it would be as hard for me to
remember to look/search for Initialize as it would be for you to look for
initialise.
So my vote is a strong keep to UK english or even the mix we have (because some
bits are in US english). But I really don't think people should have to switch
code that is there to US english. Sorry thats a point I do feel quite strongly
on.
But saying that if everyone else voted in favour of that switch I wouldn't
stand in the way. Just would think it was wrong. Any code I write is just
likely to have uk spelling. The same way any code you write is likely to have
US spelling. And opensim has had the UK spelling from the start.

I have two requests:
1. Can we unify RegionModules with IPlugin system I did a while ago?
This would mean learning and using Mono.Addins, or ExtensionLoader if
that is Mono.Addins's replacement.
Let's just use one system. I am not sure there is a semantic reason
why they should be different.
I didn't touch it myself because I didn't/don't understand the
delicate internals of RegionModules, and was worried about precisely
the sort of issues raised by Homer.
Also, Dispose() can be used in using{} statements. Lets use it, or
have a base class default to Dispose(){ Close(); }.
2. Can we standardize on US English?
I know our illustrious founder MW speaks the Queen's English, which is
the language of the educated; its not really fair to enforce the
linguistic hegemony of the country that spawned GWB and Britany Spears
in our dear pool of sanity and righteousness; but every open source
project I've ever worked on spells it Initialize. Including
Mono.Addins.
You have no idea how times I had to grep my source for "Initialize" in
order to make it compile. :(
Cheers,
