Region feature requirements

(Off the top of my head) Here are some features which individual sims may or may not support. We should decide on which features a compliant sim MUST support, and which it MAY support.

• Physics
  • Pluggable? (think OpenSim's physics modules ;) )
• Portals
• Building
• Crossings (from other arbitrary sims)
  • Seperate TP and neighbours or not?
• Estate management
• Money (Lindens, private currency?)
• Chat
• Voice
• Instant Messaging, Intra-Sim
• Instant Messaging, Inter-Sim
• Various avatar attributes, such as prim attachments
• Scripting (LSL, mono?, etc)
• Asset relay (local serving of textures, etc vs pointing elsewhere)
  • Sim offers a list of asset servers via CAPS and includes itself in the list
    • If viewer tries to download asset from sim and it is not present, sim relays to another server (caching?)
• Access restriction
  • Need standard ruleset specification for this
• Centralized logging (dwell, performance)
  • Is this an absolute requirement on a distributed grid where sims may reside out of LL?

Please add your own ideas, and feel free to rearrange this list.
