I think there was some confusion about the release of Snowglobe, whether it was effectively a complete Viewer 2.0 release, or whether the new UI was proprietary and Snowglobe 2.0 was just some non- proprietary part of it. I think most of the confusion and bad feeling about the Snowglobe 2.0 release was due to LL missing this confusion and therefore not reacting in a timely manner to clear it up. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
