Hello James, Welcome to the list! I'm sure you will soon be inundated with questions, many even having no relevance to libsecondlife. ;) If you don't mind, I have some questions:
1) What portions of the user interface do you work on currently? Are there any juicy details you can tell us about features coming soon? 2) I feel it would be beneficial to Linden Labs and libsecondlife to establish some kind of direct reporting method to allow us to better, and more quickly, report discovered exploits/flaws in the protocol. Due to our technical expertise, bugs/flaws that we report are generally more likely to be real problems than those reported by the public in general. Particularly, protocol exploits should get the attention of Linden staff as quickly as possible. Do you and the other Lindens feel this would be something of value? 3) In the spirit of give and take, and given our reporting of bugs/exploits (as in question 2, above), it would be highly desirable from our perspective to be given advance notice (or any notice at all, at this point) about changes in the protocol. Any information at all would be better than nothing. Just an informal quick email to the list would be great. Do you think any kind of collaboration such as this would be possible? Thanks again for joining the list! -Sam -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Cook Sent: Wednesday, July 19, 2006 11:28 AM To: Development list for libsecondlife Subject: [libsecondlife-dev] Hello from James Linden Hi there! I just thought I'd introduce myself before someone notices my e-mail address on the list administration pages. :-) I'm James Cook, aka James Linden, a developer for Linden Lab working on Second Life. I've been with Linden Lab since early 2001, so I've seen the progression from nothing to alpha to beta (LindenWorld) to release. I mostly work on the user interface, but I've been all over the code. There are a few other Lindens lurking on this list. We're really interested in what you guys are doing. I personally love to see all the neat tools you've developed (an IM bridge!), as well as the bugs and exploits you're finding in our protocol stack. Unfortunately there are some pretty steep limits to how much help I can give you, at least for right now. We're currently closed source and our protocol isn't published. :-( Nonetheless, feel free to ask questions. Just be aware I'm not the official voice of Linden Lab, and I may not be able to give satisfactory answers. :-) James _______________________________________________ libsecondlife-dev mailing list libsecondlife-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/libsecondlife-dev _______________________________________________ libsecondlife-dev mailing list libsecondlife-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/libsecondlife-dev
