Re: [ogpx] ogpx focus?

essentially yes, you're spot on.
one of the core concepts of OGP is that it separates the "agent domain" from
the "region domain". so if you have a collection of users, you're
essentially an agent domain. if you have a collection of simulators, you're
a region domain. if you have both, you're simultaneously an agent and region
domain. you can be both, but you don't have to be. and if you're writing
software that conforms to OGP, you're supposed to allow agent and region
services to be offered by different organizations.

so yes, some day we hope to see someone whose account is owned by linden lab
teleport over to OSGrid server and conversely an avatar defined on an OSGrid
server teleport over agni (the main Second Life grid.) All without having to
log out of one grid and log back in on another. last summer, our interop
test allowed avatars whose account was defined in our beta grid's agent
domain to teleport to a remote region running a modified instance of
OpenSim. Word from Zha is that IBM has an agent domain whose code will get
published after a legal review.

so right. we envisioning a future where the relationships between service
providers are peer-like (like the peering arrangements of large ISPs.) and
to a large degree, OGP is an attempt to define a protocol that can support
this model.
