Cory said something on the Hotline forum that I think should get some discussion from us. So I am quoting him:

From: Cory Linden

OK, to diverge slightly, communication -- including email into and out of the system, XML-RPC into and out of the system, IM between objects and people, listen processing, messaging between objects both within a sim and between sims -- has become a high nail issue post 1.6. I realize that it seems like we've left communications for a long time, but we are about to return to it. Things for you to consider:
a) How much would you pay per KB (over some base limit) of data moving between the system and the real world? Would you prefer L$ or US$?
b) How important is object-to-object communication within a simulator versus between objects in different simulators? How about neighboring simulators?
c) Is outbound XML-RPC the best protocol for you? What about REST APIs or RSS?
d) Would having to whitelist outbound traffic bother you?

a) I would prefer $L, maybe $1/KB??
b) between Sim comms need the most help.
c) any of these would be fine if they really worked.
d) no, not at all.

e) In english, please?

Some are not as educated as others in such areas.

i would love an extended link message event that would work from prim to prim (by key like email) but faster, limited to a sim would be a great improvement still and from sim to sim even more
