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.

(if you post chat logs, you might want to use the sllog2wiki perl script to turn them into a more readable wiki table format ready to copy & paste into the chat log page)

Chat logs of AWGroupies meetings should be summarized on the wiki.

Viewpoint Advocacy Groups

Viewpoint Advocacy Groups - groups to focus on specific requirements.

AWG-specific VAGs

AWG-related VAGs

Work-In-Progress

Work-in-progress wiki pages are architecture pages that are (as the name implies ;-)) work in progress. Once the group has reached consensus that a particular topic is "good-to-go" we'll graduate that page to the main AWG page.

General Concerns

Communications

Documenting current protocols

Tentative Future Protocols

Asset Security

Protecting content in an open grid

Scaling Issues

Other

Extended Capability Clients

Thinking-in-Progress

Have a look and contribute to the brainstorming page.

It's early days on the Multi-Process Client VAG -- draft, but we would highly appreciate input to help with design choices and direction.
