Soft replied on Jira. Response summary: Terrain upload has a built-in support cost. Get more votes to convince us it's worth it.
Quoted from Jira: ------- Soft Linden added a comment - 05/Apr/09 08:25 AM Carlo posted on the open source list, but this isn't an open source issue, so I thought I'd reply here. I see no internal activity, save some discussion about how much it would increase support loads. Estate owners upload bad terrain files and cause all or most objects on a sim to get returned, then file emergency tickets. The impact would be multiplied if more people had access to the feature, so the development time is just a tiny percentage of the cost. I'd fish for more votes if you think there's demand sufficient to convince the land team. They'd make the call on this.

Experience says shooting for lots of votes at a realistic priority is more likely to convince the land guys. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/SLDev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
