I'm going to produce a zip file with Wifi on it, along with
installation instructions. I think it will be _very_extremelly_ easy
to install... as long as people stick to tagged releases. People
running intermediary OpenSim code will have the get source and compile
it. That's life.
(It took Ai a few hours to figure it out all by himself without any
help from me whatsoever. A README file inside the zip will make it a
no brainer to everyone)
This doesn't quite provide a systematic solution for 3rd party addons
yet. But it will be a good data point in order to figure out how to do
it more systematically.

There are criteria why one might be preferred over the other for
inclusion in the core code base. Among those: very limited
functionality; simplicity with respect to both usability and ease of
maintenance and support; and that the code originates from a core
contributor. This particular web interfaces satisfies in each respect.
That said, I suggested that you review the thread again as no one
(myself included), is endorsing this code for inclusion as core code.

I did. All web front ends are third party developments. I can't see
core preferring one over the others. So none get in.
