Comment
The imprudence manifesto explains that the project embraces change. Kokua continues that tradition.

The Kokua project has chosen stability over feature addition. At of this writing, viewer-beta 3.3.3 has the best crash rate of any viewer.

The Kokua project adds features that provide means to reach users who are not served well by Linden Lab or just want a viewer that uses as much open source content as is possible.

Future

 * As long as possible pull upstream viewer-release into Kokua.
 * Attempt to port features from imprudence. It is proving difficult to pull from the old code base. The means to process and present information changed significantly. File input-output, skin presentation and notifications all changed. These changed for the better from a code standpoint with much more true C++ in play.
