  1. Discussion (Oz Linden):
    Some viewer developers have historically taken the position that any open source is automatically fair game to use at any time. This has sometimes lead to some changes being used either before the originator considered them ready for general use, or to other bad feelings.
    I have asked that Linden Lab changes, even when in public repositories, not be used by TPVs before they are merged to viewer-development, and in the case of new features not before they are in a released viewer (though that differencer is normally very small).
    • When is it appropriate to import a feature developed outside your viewer?
    • Should TPVs explicitly get permission?
    • Should there be a protocol for this?


Open Items:

  1. Developing in-world Viewer Test resources (Oz Linden)
  2. STORM-1800 The vertex weights of the default character mesh could be better? --Kadah Coba
  3. Fmod upgrade.. what are the licensing ramifications for us? TankMaster Finesmith
  4. Profile/People API
  5. Any update on legacy services shutdown timeframe? --Kadah Coba 09:48, 11 November 2011 (PST)
  6. Communications reliability issues
    • VWR-25940 HTTP communication with grid capabilities router is unreliable at times affecting HTTP Textures
    • SVC-6917 Apache2-worker/caps router on sim hosts is relaying 499 HTTP status codes back to clients - not a valid wire status code
    • SVC-6760 Apache2-worker/caps router on sim hosts is experiencing a high failure rate leading to service interruptions
    • VWR-25145 asset/texture download scenarios that work badly
    • VWR-26218 Windows viewer is experiencing DNS issues while attempting to fetch textures
    and the 499/caps failures? Can someone find out why do a few users see these issues so much? --Kadah Coba 12:38, 31 May 2011 (PDT)
    • Seeking feedback on good/bad experiences and networking hardware here:
      • VWR-25426 Friendlist displays users as Unknown or (loading), teleports fail, assets will not save
    • SVC-4968 Group won't load - too many members
