I think she was referring to the OAR backup, but if not, I would.
Vendor, and, really, all users here, benefit from the openness that Kitely offers that is different from all of the sl clone grids.
It is more in tune with the direction this is all going now, that of transparency and openness and giving people the tools to be more free than the old business model allows.
Even though saving the OARs to your computer has some perms limitations, it is still very nice they offer it here and, of course, it should be mentioned if the content is all yours or full perm or has the export perm then the entire region can be saved.
The problem for this is how to get that message out to those who have never heard of such a thing and cannot wrap their minds around just this part of what Kitely does, and how freeing it is for people, and how it removes many of the restraints and limitations the sl clones do in their attempts [which will not last much longer] to keep people and content locked into their grids.
Locking people in adds all sorts of stresses on people that comes out in many negative regards, and only serves the limited visions of the self-serving grid owners who do such a thing to their users, and only perpetuates a failing business model that more and more people are actually opening their eyes to see that SL started and others have continued with the free opensource opensim software.
To my mind, this is a very important thing to highlight in some regards, and not only the export but the import...tho, of course, not all, but one of the top things they do here to give people options.
However, I also expect some others will copycat this in some regards also, since they are people who lack vision they have to follow, rather than lead...which is cool as the world needs followers and the leaders are always fewer in number.
Wow, that was fun writing that!!!
