Purpose

Serious technical discussion about Linden Lab's Architecture Working Group (AWG). "AW Groupies" is an unofficial, Resident-operated group, though most (all?) members also participate in the AWG.

Invite only (apply in-world to Zha Ewry), but the criterion is simple. Show up and contribute to the AWG, at Zero Linden's office hours, or on the Wiki, or on SL-Dev.

Activities

Currently, we seem to be meeting once or twice a week in-world, and the group IM chat has been quite lively.

Also members are quite active on the wiki and in the SLDEV mailing list.

A public SVN repository is open to all AW Groupies members here:

http://openmv.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/archwg/

Contact anyone with root on openmv.org for an account if you are in the AW Groupies group in-world.

Work-In-Progress
