3 ABOUT META7
4
5 Meta 7 is a Virtual World loosely based on OpenSimulator core
6 server code.
7
8 The meta 7 Viewer is our open source client application designed
9 for the world, based on both Imprudence (an open source metaverse
10 viewer project) and the Second Life viewer.
11
12 Meta 7 is online at http://www.meta7.com/

15 The latest source code for the meta-impy viewer is always
16 available at:

20 ABOUT META-IMPY
21
22 The old meta 7 viewer was based on an ancient version of Emerald. We
23 need an update. After much discussion and evaluation, and too much
24 delay, I decided to fork and modify the Imprudence 1.4.0 code base
25 to our requirements. Thus the meta-impy viewer was born. This time
26 around I will try to keep up with the upstream changes.
27
28 I agree with the Imprudence manifesto. I also have my own ideas
29 about how code should be written, and how the mess that is the LL
30 code base should be morphed into something sane. I don't think that
31 moving to the SL 2 code base is such a good idea. Even now I still
32 see problems from the move to the SL 1.23 code base. I thought
33 moving from 1.22 was a bad idea to. LL has us playing catch up at
34 their chosen pace. We should just fix up their horrid code and
35 streak ahead of them.
36
37 Since this is being done for meta7, and meta7 does not care about LL
38 TPVP, somethings are just going to be changed specifically to suit
39 the meta7 grid. On the other hand, there are some things we might
40 implement that are of general usefulness, or already on the Impy
41 wish list. I will try to write them such that Impy developers can
42 cherry pick those things, then let the Impy developers know.
43
44 Note, since we don't care about LL TPVP, it's likely that meta7
45 viewers will not be TPVP compliant. Meta 7 viewers are made for use
46 on the meta7 grid. They will probably work on the SL grid, but that
47 is not important to us, and not recommended by us. Use at your own
48 risk on the SL grid.
