I'm so glad someone did this. When I started about a month ago, it took me a couple of days to get things going since I was doing stuff that didn't need to be done. So much incorrect information wasted a lot of time.

I also removed some information that is better explained in the various .ini.example files. At this stage, experience suggests that duplicating this information on the wiki just leads to it becoming stale and misleading. I've also added addition text for standalone setup instructions in 0.7-rc1 and onwards (these are also in the README.txt file in the OpenSim distribution - in this case I think the duplication is better than not). I haven't yet added 0.7-rc1 grid setup instructions though I have added an extra notice on how they've probably changed. In fact, these will be simpler in the future since a basic setup now only requires you to start up a single Robust.exe (thanks Melanie :) If people want to take a look over it that would be great (or even update it if necessary). I think that we should keep this page as simple as reasonably possible and shunt more advanced information over to other pages (preferably with an entry in the main user page at http://opensimulator.org/wiki/User_Documentation as well. -- Justin Clark-Casey (justincc) http://justincc.org http://twitter.com/justincc _______________________________________________ Opensim-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-users _______________________________________________ Opensim-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-users
