My question is Maria why these grids like Inworldz, Avination, Kitely and a few others don't merge the operations they have?
Then they all can become share holder's in a much larger rival to Secondlife that would have the needed programmer's,capital interest with the ability to get lower server rates combined with a unified marketing brand as this has happened in almost every industry but in opensim .?
How do you seek outside investment into opensim to further its development when the people who are currently the top grid's cannot or will not take the chances to take a real business perspective & start seeing each other as partners in something bigger then themselves and invest in each other. no matter the excuses that is the reason that will be giving is excuses but if outside business's interests are not able to see that fluid creative and adaptive change for opensim do not expect them to come in invest anything or be the change.
