[opensource-dev] Consensus? was: Client-side scripting in Snowglobe

2010-02-21 Thread Carlo Wood
It seems to me that most people still talk about untrusted, portable, and grid-wide supported downloadable scripts when talking about Client-side scripting (sorry Morgaine). So, I propose to go with that, and call anything else "Client-extensions". --- The remainder of this post is about Client-

It is really sad. When people in the open source community have dedicated there life to help build open source products for the viewer suddenly find out that Linden Lab has totally ignored all that work already put into projects done by the open source community. Consider that I have personall

Look good to me. As you said, a scripting engine (or three) could be written as a plugin. Then we'd only have to decide which plugin(s) get shipped with the client by default. A much more fruitful discussion I think. Ricky Cron Stardust On Sunday, February 21, 2010, Carlo Wood wrote: > It seem

Carlo, I agree completely with you on the principle of the implementation. On the terminology, not only are you not being logical in your naming, but you also immediately contradict yourself and demonstrate beautifully how your suggested naming makes no sense at all, not even to yourself. Let me

Dzon: Nice parable. :-) The moral of the story as it pertains to our topic is that when the superset is ambiguous as in our case (all scripts running client-side are naturally "client-side scripts"), then the ambiguity won't stop until you subset the space into disjoint subsets so that you can di

I've been maintaining a gentoo overlay. Just got done doing some updates to it now. While there is a secondlife client in portage, it lacks voice support on 64-bit systems, spacenav joystick support, etc. I managed to re-verce engineer LL build process on my own and develop a much better ebuild.
