Agenda

The agenda for the next meeting is:

  1. Sunshine-external" (276562) build has been stuck in progress for several days. Please can someone kick it?

Update 08/06/2013: Sunshine external builds are still stuck. 276562 is still in progress and so is 276820 (Whirly Fizzle)

  1. Useful radar-options (MartinRJ Fayray --MartinRJ Fayray 09:14, 30 October 2013 (PDT))
Keep the current minimap (ideal for small screens), make the Radar an extra function (or have an option to minimize it so that it looks like the current minimap when it's minimized)!
List with:
Name, Display Name, Distance and/or Position, Altitude, Age, Script memory and ARC/Vertices, Primcount and Scripts in viewer's region/parcel. A radar needs this basic information that helps keeping an overview of visitors and potential griefers and their position in the region.
with an option to mark each one on minimap, and highlighted friends and Lindens. To help distinguish individual residents on the radar.
indicator for "Payment-info-on-file". This helps identifying potential griefers.
Indicator for voice(enabled) and 'currently speaking'. To quickly identify sound sources (e.g. a resident who forgot to turn off his mic).
List-sort options. For better usability.
Options:
context (rightclick) menu for avatar. To integrate into the current V3 interface, use the (in other places already existing) options in the contextmenu (right click on a resident or resident-name).
Moderation-option (block, freeze, eject, kick-ban - for parcel and estate, AR). This will help estate managers to respond quickly.
Request-Teleport, Offer Teleport. These options will be looked after in the radar's option intuitively by residents.
Show on Map. To find specific avatars in the parcel. This option already exists in the 'nearby' tab in V3, but is probably seldomly used as it is now..
"Look At" should be accessible if the avatar is within NearMeRange- radius (that's a debug setting used in V3 for the 'near me' floater)
Advanced options: Get resident's UUID. Helpful for scripters who regularly need to find uuids of themselves, their customers or ALTs.
Optional:
An Alert-option for new avatars and/or specific avatars could be useful, but is probably beyond scope of the project.
Optional Alert when avatars are entering chat range and draw distance.
Keep the current minimap (ideal for small screens), make the Radar an extra function (or have an option to minimize it so that it looks like the current minimap when it's minimized)!
