[Opensim-dev] Proposal for a cleanup/correction of the region-module system

Hi all, the current system for handling region-modules is slightly broken if you add/remove regions dynamically (or even for region-restarts). I've put up some thoughts at http://opensimulator.org/wiki/New_Region_Modules for discussion. Please answer on the associated 'discussion' page or here on

I have to say I'm not a big fan of what I've seen of mono.addins so far. Maybe ExtensionLoader is better, so I do think we should look at that. As I think it is better to only have one system of loading plugins/modules. As for initialise vs Initialize, hehe. Well personally I think it should st

Yeah I wasn't really being serious that we should try to get as many spelling systems or langauges as we can. So I do agree that it would be best to have one, but its hard to force people to use one system if that is different to what they are used to. Its just natural to spell as you normally

This is more to do with how we use Mono.Addins, but we really should make it a lot easier to separate the various UGAIM servers, so that each one can be in its own directory without needing the other UGAIM exe's to be in there. By default we have the loading of plugins referencing all the UGAIM
