A second life for 'Second Life' with open source? (LinuxWorld)
LinuxWorld looks
at the process of replacing proprietary code with open source code in
Second Life. "One of these projects is the Linux version of the
Second Life client, the viewer application that runs on the resident's
computer and lets the resident interact with the graphical environments of
the virtual world. Ever since its release, the Linux client has remained in
constant development by an informal team, usually three people. Their work
could directly benefit the open source and Linux community beyond Second
Life, in the aftermath of the hype.
