OpenMetaverse Library Quick Start (Formerly known as libsecondlife) 


Finding Help
------------

If you need any help we have a couple of resources, the primary one being 
the #openmv IRC channel on EFNet. There is also the libsl-dev mailing list 
at http://openmetaverse.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libsl-dev and lastly 
you can use the e-mail contact@openmv.org for any general inquiries 
(although we prefer developer-related questions to go to IRC or the mailing 
list). You can find us in-world via the open invitation libsecondlife group 
or at our HQ and testing area in Hooper(SLURL: http://xrl.us/bi233).

Source Code:
   To checkout a copy of libopenmv trunk
