"MMOX is an effort to collect best practices and develop consensus based standards for virtual world and MMO interoperability. The mmox@ietf.org mailing list is for technical discussions related to this objective and for coordinating administrative details of upcoming meetings." -- IETF MMOX listinfo


This page is intended as a useful container for gathering together links to MMOX resources.

Please expand it with other relevant links that could be helpful. (Don't lose any links. :P)


MMOX mailing list and other communications

Please note that all communications performed under the aegis of an IETF workgroup (this includes IETF email and Jabber) are logged and are permanently visible to the public. They are also considered "IETF Contributions", and as such are subject to the IETF rules on IPR Disclosure. Please read the relevant documents in the IETF Information section below to know what this means.

IETF Jabber Chat logs

MMOX In-World Chat logs

Note that only "special" transcripts which include non-SL/Opensim participants are linked here.

Links to the weekly SL+Opensim chat logs are maintained under AW Groupies Chat Logs.
