I've poked and prodded the wording a bit and attributed it so it fits with the caveat style, the only part of the change that I'm unsure about is the addition of 'officially'.

I was poking at the [[Linden Vehicle Tutorial|vehicle tutorial]] and in the [[Linden_Vehicle_Tutorial#Setting_the_Vehicle_Type|vehicle types section]] it mentions you are looking for new vehicle types and that they can be sent to you by notecard or script. Considering that a few sections up it mentions that vehicles are new to SL 1.1, I thought I should ask if this offer was still open and if you wanted to change the submission procedures now that we have JIRA and wiki talk pages. -- [[User:Strife Onizuka|Strife Onizuka]] 13:42, 19 April 2008 (PDT) | |||

VEHICLE_FLAG_HOVER_UP_ONLY
Your addition to VEHICLE_FLAG_HOVER_UP_ONLY makes me uneasy, specifically the section title. Could you please qualify if it is a Bug or a Misfeature?
In the LSL documentation we don't have a section for Misfeatures because it makes people uncomfortable; they don't want to use features that are tagged as misfeatures, lumping misfeatures and bugs together only heightens their unwillingness to use it. We have two sections that fill this niche, Bugs and Caveats. If there is some misfeature we put it in the Notes section. That said, the LSL Constants template is currently in a state of flux, there are several tasks on the TODO list for it such as a box for Bugs, Caveats, Newbie Notes and Notes. -- Strife Onizuka 18:03, 17 April 2008 (PDT)

New Vehicle Types
I was poking at the vehicle tutorial and in the vehicle types section it mentions you are looking for new vehicle types and that they can be sent to you by notecard or script. Considering that a few sections up it mentions that vehicles are new to SL 1.1, I thought I should ask if this offer was still open and if you wanted to change the submission procedures now that we have JIRA and wiki talk pages. -- Strife Onizuka 13:42, 19 April 2008 (PDT)
