2017 HG: PROMO: HGProject. The BeatThis list for Hypergrid. Current status.

The BeatThis list for Hypergrid
Updated 7/9/2017

-

A while back I started the HG BeatThis list.  It is a list of things I think we need in the Hypergrid, based on suggestions I see in Hypergrid community sources, along with what I think are the best examples we have at the time of writing.  In this article, I will summarize the objective, the item goals, and the current status. I will keep this item updated as items and information are added.

Objective

• Publicize HG needs for specific communities. 
• Show the current status of each item.  
• Report progress on each item.

Where I look for suggestions about needs

• The comments section of this article. 
• The comments section of any article about the HG BeatThis list.
• Hypergrid Business (see Maria's Survey, August, 2014).
• Opensim Virtual.
• Comments on this blog are most likely to get noticed.

What I am looking for

• Specific items that are likely to have a specific solution.
• (Not generic items that probably need several specific solutions.)
• Solutions or semi-solutions that may beat the solution currently listed.
