Hi folks,

Because I'm the exception that proves the rule, I spent quite a lot of time today \
overhauling the basic OpenSim wiki  configuration instructions at

http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Configuration

I deleted a lot of the old out-of-date misleading information and tried to simplify \
the text.  I also removed some  information that is better explained in the various \
.ini.example files.  At this stage, experience suggests that  duplicating this \
information on the wiki just leads to it becoming stale and misleading.

I've also added addition text for standalone setup instructions in 0.7-rc1 and \
onwards (these are also in the README.txt  file in the OpenSim distribution - in this \
case I think the duplication is better than not).

I haven't yet added 0.7-rc1 grid setup instructions though I have added an extra \
notice on how they've probably changed.   In fact, these will be simpler in the \
future since a basic setup now only requires you to start up a single Robust.exe  \
(thanks Melanie :)

If people want to take a look over it that would be great (or even update it if \
necessary).  I think that we should keep  this page as simple as reasonably possible \
and shunt more advanced information over to other pages (preferably with an  entry in \
the main user page at

http://opensimulator.org/wiki/User_Documentation

as well.
