Goals

Goals for the next generation of Virtual Universe

These are the goals we have for the next generation of our Virtual Universe virtual world grid architecture:

1. Ensure a grid that is scalable while remaining stable.
2. Ensure an easy user experience for grid operators and those who want to use Virtual Universe. This includes running out of the box, configuration, and much more.
3. Establish a modular approach that allows users to create their own modules that add features and enhancements to their grids while doing no harm to the core of the architecture which ensures the architecture runs properly.
4. Establishes a sound and organized modular approach to the architecture that powers virtual worlds.
5. Provides for a rolling release style approach that allows grid operators to deploy updates and features while not requiring users to log out or leave a region while the region restarts or while a grid service is restarted.
6. Improved rendering of objects and textures that ensures faster rendering while protecting content from copybotting.
