Re: [vwrap] AW Groupies meeting on mesh asset interop

Thank you for organizing this, Lawson.

I feel it's extremely important that we embrace open content formats as a
core principle in VWRAP, because content is at the heart of interop.  This
will create immense synergy between virtual worlds once they start to
interoperate with no barriers of content incompatibility.

Because of our origins in the Second Life universe, our content types have
never been specified explicitly, but merely assumed to be those of Second
Life extended with some kind of MIME-tagged extension set.  This isn't
really good enough for a purported Internet standard.  "Extensible" means
nothing in practice if we have not addressed how extended types are actually
handled by worlds and clients alike.

Liaising with groups like iED can get us on the road towards widespread
interop of content between worlds, beyond our narrow little prim-based
enclave.  That would be fantastic.

Morgaine.
