Re: [opensource-dev] Talk/shout circles on minimap, lost in the cracks?

[Zai Lynch]

Well, I don't know either about these circles. I only read about them in
this thread, though it seems they're supposed to indicate if someone is in
chat range or not. Though a circle won't indicate that, since SL is 3
dimensional. If someone appears to be in chat range on the mini map, they
might not be, as chat range is a sphere, not a circle.

[opensource-dev] Smoke test plans for viewer 2 available?

[Zai Lynch]

Hi here!

I was pondering:
Could existing test plans for viewer 2 be published in the public wiki?
It would certainly be cool to have these, since localization teams are now
asked to provide bug reports for localized versions. Having some kind of
step by step plan to cover all viewer parts would certainly be a benefit for
that.

Would also be good for Snowglobe 2.0.

Re: [opensource-dev] Brown-bag meeting to continue dialog on TVPV

[Zai Lynch]

@transcript/recording concerns:
Some might remember the Adult content transition and the related brown-bag
meetings. Audio recordings were uploaded and transcripts of those were
published, like in
https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Adult_Oriented_content_controls:_merchant_meeting_transcript

Maybe something like that is possible for these meetings here as well.

[opensource-dev] Requesting review for VWR-19505 patch (missing selection beam)

[Zai Lynch]

The selection beam (particle beam from someones own avatar's hand to the
object the avatar is editing) has always been broken in Viewer 2.
It's reported as https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-19505

The following patch should fix this:
http://bitbucket.org/ZaiLynch/vwr-19505

Review / testing / feedback welcome!

Thanks to JonathanYap for advice and Latif & Kelly for getting me
bootstrapped with Mercurial!

Re: [opensource-dev] Snowstorm - Product Engine?

[Zai Lynch]

I don't know if I understand the question... So I'm not sure if
http://www.productengine.com/ answers it. Does it?

Re: [opensource-dev] Snowstorm changes

[Zai Lynch]

Aimee & Tofu: Despite my better judgement, I still hoped you'd survive the
impending UK lay-offs somehow. Sad to see you go.
I'll gladly jump in in the collective praise: You did a great job.

The same is true for at least Simone, Davy and Babbage, albeit in different
fields. I'm not sure who else is located in the UK... But I wish you well.
Thanks for contributing to our SL.

Re: [opensource-dev] offered items are lost by viewer crashes

[Zai Lynch]

Actually, that's an issue filed against 1.20 in 2008 (and not updated
since).

AFAIK, the problem with friendship-offers described in the issue is still
persistent, however, the mentioned problem from the mail in regards of
inventory offers shouldn't be.
I think that V2 should actually make it less likely to loose inventory, as
inventory is auto-accepted and not pending until approval anymore.

But isn't that what components could be used for?
Affects: Users, UI
Affects: Merchants, i18n
etc.

It would be pretty easy to filter them in that case.

I'm indifferent with it, since I'm not active in the Jira anymore, though I
remember having the exact same issue as Boroondas...
