That's definitely the idea but we have to get our act together wrt issues like security, privacy and right management before we push this willy-nilly. But yes, eventually, residents will be able to point to content outside the SL asset server. Can't tell you when though (because I don't know, not holding anything :) ) > Just wondering how far off the http-texture branch is to being fully > functional. Currently, http-texture is about making experiment with the technical aspects of this (caching, fetching, etc...). Right now, if you download one of the http-texture builds (get them at: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Open_Source_Portal) , you can experience the http texture niceties and speed (and crashers...) using the map: open the Map and browse around the grid. Note that you can now zoom out and in really far and see a map under a reasonable time. We think it's better that way but let us know what you think :) Cheers, - Merov _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/SLDev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
