eeps, that one went off list... again:
eerrr... I see I should clarify. So the question I meant was: What is meant by the word "Grid" in context to SL, in some easy understandable way so it fits in the https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Land#Grid article. (Please don't answer with a link to http://secondlifegrid.net/ ) We got: Gareth: "A collection of servers which collectively work together to provide the services required to operate a full virtual world." Dahlia (off-list reply): How about something along the lines of "A collection of 256x256x(some big number) regions arranged on a cartesian plane which share common back end support services such as asset and inventory storage, presence, and communications." as well as the two Wikipedia links and the initial definition I used in the article. I think Gareth is something intuitivly understandable although maybe not very specific. In Dahlias version, the numbers are confusing me. Can a grid contain of just one region? I guess it can... I got confused when a friend mentioned that OpenSim got StandAlone- and Grid-mode so what is a sim _without_ a grid... Sorry to bother this list with my pondering as it won't help with developement and is just some documentation issue.
