Hello everybody, For three years i live in a OSgrid, the test grid for the OpenSimulator Software.
A small change in the calculation of avatar positioning for a given explicit sit target produced big headache among the content creators in OSgrid, because a lot of existing content in the grid has to be changed now. A lot of discussion was going on in world and all of the discussion ended with the conclusion: "This is alpha Software, you have to be prepared for such changes". Therefore to mitigate the risk of such issues, the logical question is: Is there any road map to Beta? I assume there isn't, therefore the next question would be: When can we ( the residents of the various grids and possibly the biggest stakeholder group in this project ) see such a road map? If I check the features page: http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Feature_Matrix I see quite a lot of boxes in color green. A few boxes are yellow and even fewer boxes are red. Reading the feature matrix list through OpenSimulator residents eyes, I think compiling a road map to Beta can't be that difficult: - Decide, which of the red/yellow boxes are part of the Beta - create a list what in detail has to be done to turn the yellow/red boxes to green and get ready for Beta. - publish that list and publish the completion of the tasks in order to inform us about the progress. - publish early any issues that could have a severe impact to the residents. Very important If my request is completely absurd, then please inform me about your thinking. If not, well I'm looking forward to see a nice road map soon! 12.12.12: OpenSimulator goes Beta ( wouldn't that sound nice?? ) Yours sincerely Akira Sonoda _______________________________________________ Opensim-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-dev
