Of course, a really valuable way to contribute is to add a new feature. Try to work with the community and with Linden Lab in planning the feature before running off and implementing new things. Though we appreciate your hard work, we can't accept every new feature, since maintaining new features comes with a cost. Try thinking of ways to use APIs to make plugins, or perhaps propose new APIs to make the viewer more extensible, before adding new things to the core viewer.
Ideas for new Features
Just some Ideas that came up on the #opensl irc channel:
- MIDI Support - maybe with some nice Clientside Wavetables
- Removing Texture Loading so SL can run on less powerful systems
Bounties
Linden Lab is considering offering bounties for especially desirable features in the viewer. See Linden Lab Bounties for further discussion.
