Hi Sharon, The opensim-users list tends to stick to the topics of installing/supporting/using opensim with little side discussion permitted so that developers and those doing user support can focus on those who need help.
If you aren't already subscribed, however, we created an education-focused opensim listserv specifically to house these kinds of broader conversations: http://list.opensim-edu.org/listinfo.cgi/education-opensim-edu.org And I'd remind moderators and community members of this list that, with the conference approaching, we're likely to see many new sign-ups in the coming weeks, so please remember that there are good, welcoming, polite ways to inform new users of the norms and expectations without being brusque. If we're going to try to grow the community and encourage people to try Opensim, we have to be prepared to welcome them and help them learn the ropes. Sincerely, - Chris/Fleep Chris M.
