Hi Garrett. Regarding Hypergrid, I would hesitate to give a timeline. It's a very complex and evolving architectural area. However, there is sustained interest in it.

As for event listing, this is something that anybody could do at any time, just as people in the community have done stuff such as hypergrid and shopping websites, or even virtual worlds on demand. The OpenSimulator project really just concentrates on the core server technology.

Hi Justin

Absolutely agree with both suggestions you made.  Is there a timeline somewhere 
with some indication of how far off some of these developments are?

At the moment I think maybe, if people are interested, some sort of working 
group should be put together to get things rolling.  Maybe a mailing list 
parallel to this one would be a quick and easy way to gauge interest and see 
how culture, events could be developed in world.

I think getting more people is critical.

This is why I find the Hypergrid idea so interesting.  If people from different 
installations of OpenSim can just cross
to other installations then every new OpenSim server adds more population to 
the whole system (network effect).  Things
become more like the web.

At the moment, there are big challenges due to architectural/security 
limitations (e.g. having to route everything
through the servers, the 4096 region bug, etc.).

Another idea which I think might help is a website listing events taking place 
on different grids or even virtual
environments.  Then there's one single place for people to find out where 
others might actually be gathering.  Then the
challenge becomes easily accessing those spaces.
