User talk:Zai Lynch/Public Suggestion Box/VTeam Bot

(Nice write up Zai!!) This project is one I had been looking at for awhile and also talked with Zai about. The Q&A group invites would work well if done this way. Some of the roles: Greeter, Scribe, Coach, Buddy would benefit from this "instant" add process. Linguist may be better left to survey since it tends to require more follow up. The Apprentice group roles: VTeam will need to talk about what would be best for that. I will follow up with Enus Linden on this project in about 2 weeks. I will update more here then.

• This would be Linden hosted and maintained definately since it is related to an official group
• The ability to contact those in certain roles only, would greatly help intergroup communication.
• A saved database of activity would be needed for sure
• A confirmation message given to those who receive a role would be valuable. Many do not realize they actually have the role.

Thankies (^_^)

Yuss, the confirmation message is a great idea! I'll add it to the description =)

Question to discuss with VTeam/Enus about the database: InWorld or WebBased? Pros of InWorld -> It's scriptable via LSL. Con's: Data storage is limited to script sizes (scripts can't write in notecards. Bots can, tho. But I'm not sure how hard it is to implement.). Pro of WebBased: Easy access possible from anywhere. Con's: WebServer needed and some PHP scripting.
