I'm planning on spending more time exploring, and have been passing invite codes to a bunch of the crowd from SLUniverse. May we can arrange for a group of us to get a tour some time - I'll check with the crew over there. The tie ins with Moodle and Android sound fantastic, I can't wait to see them in action!

Not art creation, since you upload or link that, but people do real-time collaboration on world-building and scripting all the time. And MP's scripting does compare favorably with SL's in terms of its scope and power. But accessibility to more casual users is definitely a huge focus for us, so a beta tester sees and hears a lot more about usability than they do about stuff like bridging to Moodle (which one tester did) or writing a client for Android (which another tester is doing)... I left a much longer reply on the SLU thread. But if you want a guided tour of MP, let me know. Thanks for checking MP out. :)
