well, if you guys ever make it into SL (i am sure you do), then a virtual martini is on me!!!

congratulations and good luck making even more strides, you are tireless, passionate, and wicked smart!

thank you from this little avatar =D

Sure, it's not perfect. But neither is any other virtual world platform out there. And, more to the point, even some very mature software platforms have problems. Windows has been known to crash, for example -- but that doesn't stop companies from using it. If a company doesn't need the hyperlinks, and doesn't want to run its own servers, then Second Life is a great place to do occasional events, and it's still the best place to find large groups of people.

"I would say a fair statement is that our goal has been for 95% compatibility between the server and the Second Life client. That means we expect the Second Life client to work with OpenSim with minimal difficulties. "I would also say that 90% of the LSL functions are implemented, but would also have to caution that there are bugs and incomplete implementations in up to 50 others. "I would also say that our release, currently about 0.6.4 represents another view of doneness, that of somewhere in the 60% to 70% Second Life feature complete. This would be a measure of the whole sim and not just LSL compatibility. "In general, I would also strive to be conservative and not oversell OpenSim. There are quite a few folks using OpenSim that feel it is further along then it is, and it hurts my heart when these folks get frustrated." Clarification from Charles Krinke:

I’m not sure where overall compatibility sits – for that we would probably need to compile a huge feature list and do check offs. " Note: LSL is the Linden Lab scripting language, and enables animations, vehicles, and other complex object behavior. Clarification from Adam Frisby:
