ImpDev Meetups/2010-11-04

Summary
ImpDev Meetup for November 04, 2010.


 * We need some people to investigate.
 * The Experimental this week will have media plugins and webkit. That should fix the crash when changing streams. Webkit may or may not support Flash video yet?
 * The Experimental this week will also have support for Aurora/Kokua Sim features.
 * Neal Hernandoz asked if we would add client tag support for showing when people are using Viewer 2.
 * Answer: It's not possible. Viewer 2 uses the default UUID, so we can't tell the difference between Viewer 2 and any other viewer that uses the default.
 * There was some rambling discussion about creating a better client tag system, possibly with sim support. E.g.
 * Since we can't seem to find a day near the end of the week where everyone can meet, we are going to try having two shorter meetups per week, on Mondays and Thursdays, both at 20:00 UTC. Thursdays will be focused on wrapping up the Experimental for that week.
 * Penny heard from Phoenix devs that Viewer 2 codebase is harder to work with than 1.x because of "hardwiring" the UI in some places.
 * Jacek says: we can handle it.
 * Lots of rambling discussion about scriptable UIs, embedded scripting language (Lua, Javascript, whatever).
 * Jacek is planning to embed Lua into Kokua at some point in the future, but it will still be many months before she even starts. Other more important things to do now.
 * Imprudence 1.4 will probably not have full Display Names support, but should have support for logging in with one name.
 * Kopilo asked about copy+paste buttons in the build tools Texture tab, similar to the ones in the Object tab. Created as a reminder.

Agenda Items

 * needs looking into. Probably the same bug as the 1.23 voice estate settings, i.e. OpenSim not supporting the new way things are done. Need someone to look into it before this week's Experimental -- McCabe
 * Meetup scheduling. Yet. Again. -- Jacek
