Reports from Metaverse Roadmap

Hey Scoble is there output from this session? Reading about SL on here made me finally sign up; and I see some mind-blowing potential in this space.

It would be awesome to get some people together in SL to talk about future expansion/direction.

Hi Adam,

I'm director of the Metaverse Roadmap project. I'm in transit back home to New York and will update the MVR site tomorrow with what's coming up. Drop an email to roadmap@accelerating.org to sign up for the mailing list.

I also do the monthly Second Life Future Salon meetings in Second Life and we'll definitely be doing meetings in SL to talk about future expansion/direction connected to the map. You can look me up in SL as SNOOPYbrown Zamboni :).

Dear Mr. Scoble,

When are you going to have Worlds for Windows? I have some worlds and world-objects and SLURLS and such that I've saved from offline Sims II, TSO, WoW, SL, etc. and I'd like to paste them into my Word documents. Plus my PowerPoint and Excel, too. Wouldn't that be awesome? Well, OK, I realize it's hard but maybe just make start by making the SLURLS work off a Word document?

Also, could you work up some collaboration with Linden Lab so they can put MS Word into Second Life so that publishing just works a whole bunch better? Without waiting for "HTML-on-a-prim?" I realize there are technical limitations but the notecard route and the limitations of xy-write that only allow so many letters on prims mean you'd have to own an entire sim just to publish a short story.

To make a document/presentation/book in SL you need to type and make into a jpeg a texture, upload like $10,000 worth of $10-a-pop textures, painstakingly load them into a prim, etc. etc. Can you help?

Sincerely,

Prokofy Neva
