Well, the first improvement to do is to actually revert 80% of the UI

viewer 2 UI is a failure and widely rejected by 80% of its regular user
base, and accept a move in the way of "going back" (actually repairing)
UI-wise ?...
I've said this before, and I'll repeat it again here:
Don't waste everyones time suggesting that we
throw away Viewer 2, or that we revert the UI to
Viewer 1.  It is absolutely not going to
happen, and any suggestion to that effect will be ignored.
That does not mean that we don't recognize that
some choices in V2 were not optimal, and that
some probably need to be revisited, and we're
open to doing that. But we will do it in the
context of calm discussions of what problems
exist and creative ideas for how to solve
them. We are not moving backwards, we are moving forwards.
Think about it for a minute - there are an
infinite number of possible solutions for how to
build a UI for a virtual world viewer - what are
the odds that the first or second attempt
produced the best possible UI? We need new and
creative ideas focused on specific problem descriptions. Â
At the risk of upsetting the decorum here, I just can't let this go by.
Mr. Oz Linden, perhaps YOU should depart from ALL
viewer development. Statements of "It is
absolutely not going to happen, and any
suggestion to that effect will be ignored." are
not going to endear yourself with the
community. Not that I can speak for anyone but
myself, but your statement is extremely Draconian
in nature and is only going to stir up trouble in
the long run. You should recognize that it is
occasionally helpful to simply throw out the baby
with the bath water, and start fresh. _______________________________________________
