First of all congratulation Adam for your work. I really apreciate all usefull information from your website. About the Elgg and his implementation in osgrid to work with opensim grid platform is exactly what i was trying to do some time ago with a social network platform but stop the project… no free time this year with my new job… I still wait from you the custom code you have written to make Elgg work with a opensim grid server. It will be a BIG step ahead from the usual opensim REDUX web interface to Elgg platform and a BIG step for OpenSimulator project! Thank you for all Adam, enjoy your work and i wait a reply to this!

Elgg is the ideal platform to integrate 2d and 3d world’s. http://www.opensimulator.it (italian opensim community) is ellg based and integrating Elgg users with cyberlandia users ( http://www.cyberlandia.net )
Each time a new user register on cyberlandia through wiredux automatically add an account on Elgg.
Very interesting your work, join groups, friendlist and messages between opensim and Elgg will the next step

@Kai: PHPFOX isnt open source, and doesn’t look easy to integrate – with Elgg I just ripped out the DB access classes for users, groups, etc, and replaced them with custom ones that recognize the backend OpenSim schemas.

@Flip: I’m building this one out for OSGrid specifically, but it will go up on the OpenSim forge eventually with all the other custom code I’ve written for osgrid. It definetely will be a bit more work to install than the old OSWI was though.

Wow, this is absolutely fantastic; I was hoping for years that Linden Lab would do something like this. In fact, I was hoping they’d get rid of most of their interface, and just use the in-viewer Mozilla browser more effectively, which would also have the upside of being able to launch the Mozilla browser externally, which would be a big win for people with multiple monitors.

¡Great!, really is going to be a big bridge between 2D social media and the virtual world
