Bad Code

I didn't code before using LSL. FFHUD scripts should probably be rewritten from scratch by someone that knows how to do it.
Please feel free to leave comments about how we could improve FFHUD code.


ToS issues

I'm not sure about these legal issues. Maybe I should stop publishing FFHUD code, put disclaimers/warning messages (what to write in them?), change the HUD default behaviour...I don't know. Any constructive comment is welcome!

  • with FFHUD you publish a post on FriendFeed that includes an URL to images from the Second Life Search. FriendFeed retrieves and hosts a copy of that image and shows it in your post.
    • Profile images appear on the Second Life Search website according to residents' and groups' privacy settings: they don't get re-published on FriendFeed if residents are hiding their profile.
    • I think that re-publishing a low-sized image + providing credits and context is common practice on the internet. One could do this with the FriendFeed web interface, and I don't think that this would raise any legal issue. Not sure about the precise legal status, though. --oobscure 18:25, 13 June 2008 (PDT)
