Goals for the system, in order of importance:

• Scalability for events.

• Scalability along the other 3 dimensions.

• Interop with 3rd party worlds and grids.

Goals for the client, in no particular order:

• Improve portability across compilers and platforms.

• Remove dependencies on specific versions of required libraries.

• Add an event API for use in scripting language bindings.

• Refactor access to required libraries to allow alternative choices.

• Refactor subsystems to allow alternative choices (see below).

• Decouple the viewing from the presence handling, allow N:1 (multiple views per presence).

• Replace refactored 2D GUI by decoupled alternative [footprint reduction].

• Replace refactored audio system by decoupled alternative [footprint reduction].

• Make the refactored 3D navigation/camera event-driven [for scripting, machinima].

Among the many other benefits, physical refactoring gives us the opportunity to harness multiple cores.

Occasionally I just despair and decide to rewrite the whole thing from scratch. Tomorrow, that is. ;-)

Goals for me:

• Fun. :-)

Enough to keep me busy for a while ...
