Mobius, Neale: Thanks
for the input, I'll look into it. No guarantees about not
attempting to spin-my-own, though, especially since it seems
like a good project to hone some programming/design skills
on. (perhaps not just my own, mind).
Besides: I don't think either has a distributed trust metric
of any kind, nor facilities for linking remote servers
together in an reality-network fashion which is a capability
I am very much interested in.
The one thing I am explicitly NOT planning is a GUI - that
just seems very hard to integrate with a full-fledged
text-based system. I just wonder how on earth WorldForge
thinks to solve that, if it's at all possible anyway.
Still, someone must have attempted what I want before, and
that MOO seems to be going in the right direction a fair bit
so time to learn from past mistakes.. :)
