Consider your inventory. A mess huh. Well, what is it really, especially in a world like NGIW / OMG describes? It's just yet another hierarchy of folders and thingies. We are probably wasting our time writing any code for it. Why not leverage the users favourite hierarchy browser/editor. Maybe it's called FileDamager made by MicroCruft in Redstone Wishangton. Maybe it's called Netscape, or Nautilus. Many of the modern file browser tools will talk a protocol named WebDAV. If the asset server spoke WebDAV, then we could perhaps rip the inventory code clean out of the client.

This little fantasy points in a really blue sky direction. Use existing protocols and tools to remove stuff from the client. Make it easy for tools that already exist to interact with the 3d world.

That's the Client Hammer.

That's the Client Hammer. ClientHamr is the concept that we can apply the unix philosophy to the viewer. Use individual tools that are good at their job to split off bits of the big bad blob that is the viewer. Using standard protocols and tools where we can.

Note - The simian grid has a WebDav front end to inventory. http://code.google.com/p/openmetaverse/

Normal Editing

Step 1: right click avy > edit pose > a list of currently playing animations displays and you can choose one. Or right click avy > new pose

Step 2a: big edit style arrows sprout from the current joint (last edited, or hips by default). You can interact with it in all the standard ways users already know about with the build window. Move? Drag an arrow. Rotate? Drag a ring or the gray ball.

Open Management Group have a US registered trade mark of "OMG", and they deal with computer integration standards for "enterprise", in other words, big business, with deep pockets plus scary lawyers, and too close to what we are doing for us to get away with it for long. So, in the interests of having a name so I can just start coding dammit, I'm going with my original name of SledjHamr. It's not very marketing friendly, and even I have to stop and think exactly how it is spelled. lol

We don't have a great name for it, until recently I liked NGIW (Next Generation Immersive Web) best, but OMG has plenty of appeal. What it is, even if we don't have a clear name for it, is an improved version of OpenSimulator and Imprudence, a vision of better virtual worlds. We have a few pages talking about it. Check out:

SledjHamr is a rewrite from scratch of Second Life (SL) / OpenSim (OS) style 3D online virtual world client / server. The plan is to use OS server and SL clients as crutches, when a bit of SledjHamr is ready, it replaces the matching bit in OS/SL.

We have a code repo on github now - https://github.com/onefang/SledjHamr with just a small README that points to this page. We can finally start writing code. A local copy of the source can be found here.

Now that we have a web site, I should turn this into a real web site, huh? Some of the docs are in raw text format, SledjHamr docs and ClientHamr docs
