Re: [opensource-dev] Proposal: Howto add a new feature to snowglobe.

Dzonatas, first of all, it's important to be clear that VWRAP has not yet written up anything concerning handling of objects or avatar meshes, so this post at most reflects some of the informal discussions that we've been having on the topic. Bear that in mind here. VWRAP is intended to be an int

Re: [opensource-dev] Proposal: Howto add a new feature to snowglobe.

In what respect did I miss this? Are you implying that it should be possible to add new features that Linden Lab *disagrees* with? If not, and as you say they don't disagree with VWRAP, then I don't see the issue. VWRAP compatibility falls in category 2, it's a new "feature", hardly anyone here w

Re: [opensource-dev] Proposal: Howto add a new feature to snowglobe.

Carlo, you're missing something very important in your write-up. The issue that you haven't covered is that Snowglobe is intended for interoperation with other worlds as well, not just with SL. Our work in VWRAP has the goal of all

Here is some food for thought: -- Question: Who determines what is added to the viewer and what not? I propose (to be decided by Lindens, not others) the following: There are two different categories of things that can be added to the viewer: Category 1: Bug fixes; intended behavior is not as e
