Even if its a bit boldly pointed out - but we realy should try to think more like the web then like a single world with a central government like SL. I don't want to downsize the merits of Linden Labs and others that came up with a niche product.
A thing I realy like in SL is the ability to have several online groups and wonder if it would be possible to have simultaneously several jabber connections to different accounts - that could maybe solve the whole group implementation. I wouldnt wonder if its allready in naali and i just didnt found the button yet :-) On Mon, Jul 5, 2010 at 8:55 PM, Mark Malewski <mark.malew...@gmail.com>wrote: > > *> IMHO i think a smooth as possible blender upload would benefit the > entire * > *> content production and bring the community of blender artists with > their great works on board. * > > I completely agree. > > This is not all about the "SL" people (who are stuck in the "mindset" of > Second Life).
