ImpDev Meetups/2009-09-01

Summary
ImpDev Meetup for September 01, 2009.


 * Happy birthday, Imprudence!
 * Meerkat has approached us (since July), suggesting that we join them. We're not amenable to discontinuing Imprudence, but we have suggested other ways that viewer projects can collaborate (e.g. patch pool, and meta-project to coordinate shared viewer work). No response from them yet, but it has only been a few days.
 * We may want to contact the OpenSim people sometime, to figure out HTTP textures and compatibility with OpenSim.
 * We laid out a list of features to be in 1.2:
 * Will use the SL 1.22 base for now, since that rebase is already done and stable. We'll rebase to SL 1.23 for 1.3.
 * Object import/export from Meerkat, but with different perm check ("effective full perms")
 * Grid Manager from Hippo/Meerkat, but with better usability and account management functionality
 * RLVa (RestrainedLife support)
 * Miscellaneous features that Armin has ported already (middle mouse paste, etc.)
 * Borrow features from Emerald:
 * Double-click inworld to teleport there
 * Phantom avatar mode
 * Sit anywhere
 * Avatar scanner/radar
 * Others?
 * Goal is to release Imprudence 1.2 by the end of September.
 * Jacek will try the object import/export merge and perms change, and report at next week's meetup. McCabe and Armin will work on porting some of the other/smaller features.
 * Meetup went waaaaay over time. We need to keep them short and sweet, ideally under 30 minutes.
