In the Ryzom talk at the games miniconference there was discussion
about the folks who were aiming to buy Ryzom source becoming a Virtual
Citizen Association and looking at SecondLife as a space in which to
develop civil rights, autonomy for avatars/digital selves.

If that works effectively its not just a new OS its potentially new
social space?

Interesting times.
