I am new on this list and this is just my personal introduction post; please feel free to ignore it. My in-world name is Synthalor Mandelbrot. I am basically an SL noob (a bit over 60 days old). In world, I concentrate on making virtual friends and developing my skills in building, scripting, and animating. I spent much of my early time on Help Island, observing the Mentors, and hope to be one of them soon. In RL, I am a technical lead and senior software architect and engineer, currently working mostly in .NET space, doing SOA and other stuff. For more about me and my various rantings, see my weblog at http://weblogs.asp.net/jtobler/. Your libsecondlife project looks very interesting and promising; that's why I joined the list. I hope to help out as libsecondlife, and my understanding of things, evolves. I am totally fascinated with the current actuality and future promise of SL. We have come a *very* long way since I wrote my first symbolic logic routine in FORTRAN IV for an IBM 1401! I applaud LL for being the first to make me feel like my avatar is actually "living" in a virtual universe, rather than simply playing yet another video game. I am highly impressed with LL's decision to strongly support content creation by SL residents. I believe that this decision, more than the current somewhat blindered emphasis on economics and the almighty L$, is a huge part of what makes SL such a vibrant and immersive experience over the long-term. It is easy to hook someone's interest for a three-day or even three-month game. To make so many residents want to live in-world for years, now that's a serious achievement! Congratulations, LL! For the most part, I have been pleasantly surprised to see so many in-world tools for building and scripting. I encourage LL to continue improvement of its internal tools and *strongly* recommend that it pay more attention to integration with external graphics tools, standards, and formats. I oppose hidden, secret, proprietary protocols. I promote interaction with open standards and interoperation with a variety of open and community-accepted protocols and file formats. I oppose LL's implicit endorsement of and dependence on expensive, vendor-locked external creation tools (such as PhotoShop and Poser). I celebrate the efforts of residents to create new tools, such as the amazing resident-written, free, and Open Source Second Life Animation Tool (SLAT), to get around such limitations. In that same spirit, I support the libsecondlife project and want to be part of it. BTW, I do not publish my RL name in-world so please keep this information within this group. I look forward to working with you all!
