10 predictions for 2010
Adam Frisby, January 2010
#5 – Greater Cooperation between Open Source Virtual World Frameworks OpenSim, Sirikata, Wonderland and realXtend begin talking to each other. Initially this will likely be support for the various clients across platforms, but eventually this could lead to common adoption of a standard protocol. Commercial incentives for a common VW standard however will continue to languish due to complex conflicts of interest between member parties.

Game Engine for Business
By Darin Cummins, October 2009.
This server is used in another project by Sun called MPK20 which is a virtual workplace using yet another project by Sun called the Project Wonderland Toolkit. Ultimately, MPK20 allows users to interact in a virtual world similar to many online games, but focusing on business needs. Users can converse, conference call, share information on white boards, view each other's applications, etc
