Architecture Working Group

   I have gathered my tools and my charts,
   My plans are finished and practical.
   I shall roll up my sleeves — make Second Life over. 

Goal

Discuss, design and implement a scalable and open architecture for the future Second Life Grid.

Materials

• Project Motivation
• Glossary
• Use Cases
• Brainstorming
• Scoping
• Viewpoint Advocacy Groups (proposal)

Architecture Proposals

• High Level Architecture proposed by Linden Lab
• Hyperplanes
• Tedds stand-alone script engine proposal

Participating

Membership in this group is open. Start contribution to the work, and you become a member.

• Contribute to the materials and documentation in this wiki --- a lot of material is being drafted and discussed in the AW Groupies section (also, see below).
• Join the sldev mailing list and use tags like [ARCH] and [AWG] in the subject line.
• Meet with others for technical discussions: Zero Linden's office hours, AW Groupies.

Meetings

Formal meetings will likely be held 3-4 times/year and located in Second Life to facilitate broad participation. Meetings will be coordinated on SLDev. Group members are encouraged to self-organize smaller meetings to move forward particular work areas and discuss hot topics as needed.
