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/ | ||
13 | |||
14 | |||
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. | ||
