It is true that Mono would be the Mac and Linux base for this approach. It would also involve reinventing too many wheels. Please rattle off the names of some graphics intensive multiplayer games/environments based on C#, with stellar frame rates. If you're going to consider any change of direction that would involve C#, the far better route to choose would be the Unity3D engine. That way, you can have a consistent code base across Windows and Mac, and use C#, JavaScript, and Boo for scripting. There would be the huge issue as to how to tie in legacy LSL client side support. A front end done in Unity (with an OpenSim backend) is http://www.reslive.com/ Realistically, the 1.x and 2.x C++ code bases are going to be around for a long time, and much can be done with them. -- Daniel Smith - Sonoma County, California http://daniel.org/resume
