Please forgives da following blunt and frank observations.
After reading the comments on this blog, I can see why OpenSim has so many problems. Does anyone over there even try to get along and cooperate?
Minethere: "I have been hearings so many rumors in the metaverse concerning osgrid. Personally, I think it is sad."
I have to agree, Minethere. This is just disgraceful. I don't hardly even much use OSgrid and I think I say more favorable things about it than I've heard here. This just gives the public the idea that OpenSim consists of nothing but conflicting egos. 'Scuse me for being frank-- but that's how it comes across.
Maria writes a EXCELLENT blog with really good information. It points out strengths and weaknesses, presents the info in an unbiased and fair manner, and gives us a really good idea what's going on with OpenSim and all the grids involved. She even gives closed grids like Inworldz a fair shake and brings up a really good point: that the active population on Inworldz exceeds grids twelve times its size. What does that say to everyone?
What I see going on here is a lot of tearing down. I'm beginning to think I'm more pro-OSgrid than most others here-- and I'm an Inworldz user.
Bottoms line: if you want OpenSim to grow, I think OpenSim users are gonna have to grow up. Dunno why I'm even posting this. I suppose I just hate to see people tear apart something with potential. But I can tell ya this: Inworldz is going to succeed whether OpenSim / OSgrid succeeds or not-- because they have their ducks in a row. If OpenSim wants to succeed-- I think ya need to at least start gathering some ducks. ; )
Thanks you for listening to this rant. I means no insult; just making observations as an "outsider" looking in. : )
