Proposal to set up VRC development pages

Rail information system

The VRC is developing an open specification for a generalised signaling and control system (SCADAD, Signal Control, Data Auisition and Delivery) for public transport in SL-like virtual worlds.

I would like to start a set of pages to document the state of development. More informal talk and discussion can be done on the VRC website, but the outcome of those discussions and some more general remarks about the system would be well positioned here. The SLRR pages are not well suited for this type of discussion since the SCADAD system in not limited the SLRR and because as far as SLRR equipment go's we can only follow the developments. Here i would like to discuss possible extensions of exisiting standards and try out new ideas.

I propose to create aheading on the main page called "VRC open development" and under that a link to the the SCADAD rail information system, and possibly to other projects.

Does this sound sensible?

re: proposal rail information system: The wiki is a place to put reference pages for others to see how things at are actually used inworld are made or used. Wiki is less suitable for discussions.
