What is Snowglobe?
Snowglobe is an Open Source development project for viewers that connect to the Second Life Grid. Goals include:
- Encourage development of alternative viewers that create choice for Second Life Residents
- Encourage research and innovation of new viewer functionality
- Collaborate with the development community to incorporate patches that enhance the official Second Life viewer
Snowglobe (sometimes 'SG') is commonly used to refer specifically to the Snowglobe viewer.
