libOpenMetaverse Library Quick Start

Finding Help

If you need any help we have a couple of resources, the primary one being the #libomv-dev IRC channel on EFNet. There is also the libomv-dev mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/libomv-dev and lastly you can use the e-mail [email protected] 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://slurl.com/secondlife/Hooper/192/43/25/).
