I certainly agree that a TPV grid manager should not be conflated with a region counter or other things. For a TPV grid manager I only need my viewer to have knowledge of the grids that I use, not of every grid in some central database. So the central repository should only be used by the TPV to pick up information when I start typing a grid name that is not currently in its active list. I would not be a happy camper wading through the entire list if I only use a few grids. Agreed about the counts varying wildly. If I have a machine that is used for something else part of the time but runs regions on osgrid for 12 hours a day every day then do its regions count as alive or not? How about if I do the Kitely-esque thing and only bring up some cloud based regions on demand? What if I had a private region that only I ever visited and then only in special circumstances? Is it abandoned or not? I am beginning to think that the entire idea of "region" is rather atavistic. - s > > On Mon, Feb 20, 2012 at 2:33 PM, Nebadon Izumi <[email protected]> wrote: > this does not seam feasible to me, for one, what if everyone sets it to > false, or even 1/2 of everyone sets it to false, it somewhat defeats the > purpose, and secondly who runs the centralized operation? and even if we did > decide to do this the numbers could be wildly off, it would be very intensive > to insure that every region was running we would be polling 10's of 1000's of > regions quite often to get accurate counts, I just don't think its going to > be possible and I would also have to -1 this idea for being in core, if > anything it would need to be a external module and be 100% volunteer practice > to those wanting to participate.
