ABOUT META7 Meta 7 is a Virtual World loosely based on OpenSimulator core server code. The meta 7 Viewer is our open source client application designed for the world, based on both Imprudence (an open source metaverse viewer project) and the Second Life viewer. Meta 7 is online at http://www.meta7.com/ The latest source code for the meta-impy viewer is always available at: http://github.com/onefang/meta-impy ABOUT META-IMPY The old meta 7 viewer was based on an ancient version of Emerald. We need an update. After much discussion and evaluation, and too much delay, I decided to fork and modify the Imprudence 1.4.0 code base to our requirements. Thus the meta-impy viewer was born. This time around I will try to keep up with the upstream changes. I agree with the Imprudence manifesto. I also have my own ideas about how code should be written, and how the mess that is the LL code base should be morphed into something sane. I don't think that moving to the SL 2 code base is such a good idea. Even now I still see problems from the move to the SL 1.23 code base. I thought moving from 1.22 was a bad idea to. LL has us playing catch up at their chosen pace. We should just fix up their horrid code and streak ahead of them. Since this is being done for meta7, and meta7 does not care about LL TPVP, somethings are just going to be changed specifically to suit the meta7 grid. On the other hand, there are some things we might implement that are of general usefulness, or already on the Impy wish list. I will try to write them such that Impy developers can cherry pick those things, then let the Impy developers know. Note, since we don't care about LL TPVP, it's likely that meta7 viewers will not be TPVP compliant. Meta 7 viewers are made for use on the meta7 grid. They will probably work on the SL grid, but that is not important to us, and not recommended by us. Use at your own risk on the SL grid.
