This data really has no business in the user server, because it is Linden client specific, furthermore, it should not be split between two services. The profile information in the user server is a legacy of a quick fix to get a profile picture and text working before we had a real profile service. It would be quite foolish to pollute a new, clean architectural approach with such legacy data and Lindenisms, actually i'd take the opposite approach and make it part of the user service and make it more general. just because lindens had the idea of providing profile information is not bad per se. profile information is a useful tool, certainly in the corporate environment. i agree that the current way it's structured is not good.     DrS/dirk Melanie Justin Clark-Casey wrote: Melanie wrote: Profile information has no place in this architecture and will be handled exclusively by the profiles module. Please could you elaborate on this. Why will this be handled differently from the other things being handled by servers? What are the implications of doing it this way? _______________________________________________ Opensim-dev mailing list Opensim-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-dev -- dr dirk husemann ---- math & computer science ---- ibm zurich research lab RL: h...@zurich.ibm.com - +41 44 724 8573 - http://www.zurich.ibm.com/~hud/ SL: drscofi...@xyzzyxyzzy.net --------------------- http://xyzzyxyzzy.net/
