[sldev] Re: More plugin / platform harping..

Linden Lab may be willing to accept "reference" code into the server if 
it is sufficiently modularised - vivox doesnt appear to be running on 
the SL simulators as is, so I do not know that's a specific requirement.

You could do this purely clientside, with the clients reporting their 
positions (although this does need some careful analysis to make sure 
that you cant randomly enter someone elses conversation from afar using 
client mods)
