In January I traveled to London for a meetup with the UK crowd, and I can assure you that everyone is committed to producing a solid, comprehensive virtual world experience.<br><br>The project embraces many differing views as to just what the details of that experience should be - and certainly the order in which those details will be realized.<br>
<br>As an open project - and one that embraces addons, forks, distributions, etc. - direction and thrust are localized in different sub-sections so that the trajectory of the project as a whole feels a little sluggish (even aimless) much of the time. Still, we do make steady progress with good humor, confidence and dedication.<br>
<br>I suggest reading through at least 100 editions of this listserve before speaking in any but the most measured, temperate voice. Lots of folks are here doing the Lord's work, and I think we should all be grateful for the contributions - of all sorts, including code and questions and testing and prodding - that show up in such an extended review.<br>
<br>For my own part, I appreciate all those whose efforts initiated and advanced this project. My personal vision and plans are divergent, but this seems to be a very good base from which to diverge - and a good group within which to work.<br>
<br>========<br><br>Melanie only brushes up against the truth in that last post. The fact
is,<br>
this is an open list, and detractors and other haters have equal
opportunity<br>
to reply to our topics (and occasionally do).<br>
<br>
As a general rule, feel free to ignore those at the extreme ends of the<br>
expression spectrum ;)<br>
<br>
Cheers and Thanks for your interest in helping out :)<br>
