Very true. This list is going to stay empty, nobody is going to add their real name, and if it was required in order to get a viewer to connect at all they will just stop developing it; or spoof the indentification of the viewer. It's too ridiculous for words. And what exactly is the use of all this, except to make the life of honest users harder? Rogue viewers/developers will just spoof the indentification anyway; they are not interested in being listed or following the TPV policy. Seems to me that Linden Lab is planning for a follow up with more enforcement, as soon as most popular viewers are actually on that list for a while. I therefore think it's better for all of us if that list stays entirely empty :/ [to clarify: that is better for progress and development than when in the end you need some digital signature binary-only plugin in order to connect]. -- Carlo Wood <ca...@alinoe.com> _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
