Just a note to let you all know that I _am_ reading these. You will see more from me as I get up to speed with it all.

Please do not hesitate to ask questions.

Probably the #1 most important feature request I have is that LL leverage its community better, and they can start doing that by leveraging the collective intelligence and wisdom of its community members when it comes to the feature roadmap.

We have brilliant programmers in the community who know LSL probably better than LL developers themselves. We have programmers here who are rewriting, single handedly from the ground up, an open source metaverse world (http://metaverse.sourceforge.net).

A lot of us have also participated significantly in every known 3D virtual universe ever done (there.com, activeworlds, cs, uo, dac, sw, eq, ac, coh, wow, etc ad nauseum) as well as hundreds of muds, and importantly: MOOs and MUSHes.

We have seen them all born, boom, and bust.

But most importantly, we are all extremely passionate about SecondLife and near every one of us really just wants to see SecondLife succeed - even if it means sacrificing our own particular pet feature or future change.

Oooh! Goody!

You mean all the old ones, too? Want to start with a search of all posts created by Hiro Pendragon?

*snickers*

Grats on Linden Lab!

Oh, suggestion, dunno how possible this is -

A bunch of us have asked a number of times for a list thread in the forum of which suggestions you're considering, rejecting, and what priority for those Linden Lab is accepting. You could thumbnail the list thread in this forum that just has brief blurbs, and then post the link to the thread in the blurb. This is greatly to your advantage, Uncle, because then you (and us) don't have to keep reading the same threads over and over and over again.

I realize LL can't show its hand, but I think listing, at the very least, "We're considering these" and "We're really not considering these right now" would be great!
