Apparently there will also be support for a protocol called hop that allows you to populate the grid list from something akin to a url -- see recent tweets from Armin Weatherwax. I don't understand the SL/OpenSim issue -- LL closed their end so it's a non-starter for the present. The SL Viewer 2 actually does have a grid list you can enable though I've no idea whether it can be populated with OpenSim grids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880640158139598308.post-8795703282321898362011-04-30T07:03:40.399-07:002011-04-30T07:03:40.399-07:00this is a rough one, a searchable grid. not sure o...this is a rough one, a searchable grid. not sure of what any way is possible for that. independent grids are more like websites than Second Life sims there is this: <br />http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Grid_List<br /><br />but it is self-administered and i bet way out of date. heck Enclave Harbour is somewhere on the OpenSim site but i can't even find it now!iliveislhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00412300946166700450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880640158139598308.post-3266632917600432612011-04-29T23:01:06.032-07:002011-04-29T23:01:06.032-07:00Hi Gaga,

It is currently limited to doing so as part of the "Enter World" process that is initiated from our website.<br /><br />I hope this helps clarify our intentions a bit :-)Ilan Tochnerhttp://www.kitely.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880640158139598308.post-758005076981186772011-04-29T20:10:43.395-07:002011-04-29T20:10:43.395-07:00Hi Ilan

Certainly, the one click option from your web site makes it very easy to launch a viewer and open it straight into a Kitely sim. There is nothing wrong with that in itself but it did strike me as yet another way in which the open metaverse looses focus in the minds of potential users.<br /><br />I hope Kitely will be part of the wider metaverse and not become an isolated walled garden. Avination promotes it's own viewer and so too dose InWorldz and a number of others so I did make some points about all of this being counter productive in promoting the Open Metavesre. My main argument though was focused on the grid manager inside the viewers and the need for a searchable list in which all grids can promote themselves.<br /><br />I hope you will offer a grid address so we can login to Kitely sims from the viewer once you implement other ways to register avatar names?<br /><br />GagaTalla Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125668800530203529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880640158139598308.post-51294729694873206982011-04-29T19:44:39.534-07:002011-04-29T19:44:39.534-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Talla Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125668800530203529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880640158139598308.post-86738368098335094392011-04-29T10:18:02.097-07:002011-04-29T10:18:02.097-07:00Hi Gaga,

That is partly why Kitely decided to create its plugin. We needed a way to enable people to use their viewers of choice without having to wait for the cooperation of the viewers' developers.<br /><br />I therefore think your post misrepresents our intentions and what the Kitely plugin actually does. The plugin doesn't take over a user's viewer. It simply allows people to automatically log into a Kitely world, using their viewer of choice, by pressing a button on the Kitely site.<br /><br />Installing the Kitely plugin doesn't prevent you from continuing to access other grids using the existing login methods: SLURLs, manual login via viewers, etc.Ilan Tochnerhttp://www.kitely.comnoreply@blogger.com
