Can I suggest an approach here... as someone who has spent a LOT of
time getting something working for our Openvue and adding in
gradually the functionality as time allows.
I can say that our grid has a small number of users, and that is
mostly as three attempts to integrate OpensimWI have failed. Though
we use offline IM from that useful offering. We now have Wifi going
as opf yesterday and I just opened up te grid to the Virtual
University of Edinburgh members... whereas for 2 years I could not as
it would need too much manual setup. To me this is a no
brainier. Diva has provided some useful functionality and it is important.
However, there are alternatives like simian grid, d4os, OpensimWi etc
which provide a lot too.
Can I suggest an approach...
Core should be as small as possible. Minimum to get running.
Other things ought to look like addons. Packed in the addons
directory and separately enableable. By default if in addon they
should be OFF. There can be several alternatives, but at LEAST ONE
for each important function.
- voice
- web front end
- offline IM
- groups
- ?
We should be open to anyone adding alternatives. But quality control
means the community ought to use them a while before they get added
into the main download. If they date, no problem, they date, and the
community can decide if and when to remove them from the main
download... they can still be add ons added separately BEFORE compile
or released as binary addons with the same directory structure.
Refinement and addons to addone (I think this will apply a LOT to
wifi which I can see vast potential for) should be available in a
contributed addons directory.
Looking good guys... and thanks for all the effort everyone.. and
Diva for this module. Name is odd though :-) 4 users today said they
thought it must relate to something about Wireless Wifi. Wi better?
