[DGD]mudlib features

[Michael J. Bacon]

	How about support for a distributed simulation..? ie, two or more computers
working together on a larger set of objects.

Now that I'm committed to releasing a Melville 0.9.1, I'm
starting to think about features I should add, given the
goals of the mudlib are to take advantage of some of the
special features of DGD, while remaining simple and easy
for a non-computer scientist to understand. The two that
have come to my mind are:

1) An object tracking daemon that would let you manage
all objects loaded in the mud;

2) Some kind of limitation on inheritance and cloning
that would prevent you from having a cloned, inherited
object, for the same reasons that the kernel lib has
that limit.

Is there anyone else that has a wish list for Melville
(that's consistent with the lib's design goals - I'm
not interested in adding combat or guilds or the like)
and if so, what's on it? I'm not planning to dedicate
a huge amount of effort to this, but it seems like the
right time to do a little work on it.

Also, would anyone be interested in a version of Melville
that ran on top of the kernel lib, thus giving you access
to some of the kernel lib's features (ie, resource tracking)
that are not in Melville?
