Hybrid and Homebrew?

What exactly does hybrid and homebrew mean? Where is the difference to 'third party'? 'Homewbrew' even sounds a bit declassifying. Is the further extension of 'thrid party' really needed? --Peter Stindberg (July 8)

No responses? Then I am going to take those declassifying words out. --Peter Stindberg (August 25)

Merging in Alternate viewers page

Merging the alternate viewers page into this neatly is next on my todo list however doing so neatly is going to be tricky along with the issue of keeping anything up to date. GW ^(T|C) -- 01:32, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Merged the content in and the page should be useable but I still want to seperate graphical from text viewers and all the content needs to be updated since much of it is way out of date. Also for each viewer there needs to be a line saying when the info on this page for that viewer was last checked and updated. GW ^(T|C) -- 19:35, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Merging in Talk:Alternate viewers page

And on a side note.. I am not sure it was a good idea to merge the alternate viewers page with the Official SL downloads page, I think there is value in having them seperate.

Downloads The content of this article should probably be migrated to Downloads.

It's been a year and a half but it's on my list of things to do, as soon as I get a chance and can figure out how to do it neatly I'll merge this page's contents in and redirect. GW (T|C) -- 01:33, 27 May 2009 (UTC) IM Not sure if this is the right place, but with Metabolt being mentioned, are the other clients like SLitechat worth mentioning? http://slitechat.dooglio.net/

I'd say: go for it! (please respect alphabetical order). oobscure 10:55, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Got the merge done the other day and people are updating the listings which is nice but a lot of them are still out of date and if it can be done without causing too much confusion I think that active and inactive projects should be seperated although the existence of viewers classified as "semi-active" complicates that.

Imprudence Viewer

The first section under the Imprudence viewer (Usability, Stability, Flexibility) has nothing to do with the Imprudence viewer but rather is a rant against Linden Labs. It is inappropriate for a wiki and, frankly, is counterproductive for the proponents of Imprudence.Jos Ling 13:41, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

I agree with the "rant again LL". However if you see that page as a place where the alternative viewer developers can present their project and their mission statement, it definitely has its place. I can't judge if it is counterproductive - it might even appeal to some. However I think the only judges of the statement are the readers, and therefore it is up to the Imprudence developers of how they want to present themselves. I will change the headline to "Motivation" and give the developers a head's up to rethink the passage. Thank you for bringing this up. --Peter Stindberg 13:57, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
