Wonderful job, Diva. I think we're onto something here.
> > - "Simulator trust domain": a set of simulators that trust each other, > > operated by one single authority Sounds fine; akin or parallell to an 'estate' perhaps? I propose the entity "Resource Services": A set of zero or more services serving resources for regions. Resources include: assets, user accounts, and assorted services like lookup services, forums, etc. "Grid": a set of simulators that share "Resource services". [And this is the thing] A Grid includes one *or more* simulator trust domains. > > - "Hypergrid": the interconnection of grids. Am I correct in assuming that the hypergrid then boils down to the "untrusted" connections? What is left, basically. > As a small point, the "Grid" definition would appear to mean that our current > 'Standalone' mode is confusingly also a > "Grid". Is there a suitable alternative term to "Grid" for this definition? > I've run into this problem myself when > writing about OpenSim.
