ok here's a bunch of suggestion type things I have from my about a month of being around the SL experience ...

being a programmer, these will be from a mostly programming perspective...

1) llStopAllAnimation(), please, and a menu item to stop all animations. Sometimes I completely lose track of what anims are going and are stuck till I can turn it off.

2) An interface to change the standard avatars, so legs can be lengthened, colors changed, etc, inside of a script.

3) Outgoing XMLRPC from a script. Please. It is well known one can XMLRPC into SL from outside but it'd be really nice to be able to have two way communication. There's a million things I could do if I could RPC *to* the outside world.

4) A category in Inventory like "Out", that would list objects that you own, that are NOT in your inventory, anotherwords they are out there. I am STILL getting things back from some failed object experiments, that I would have cleaned up by now myself if I had any way to find out where they went.

5) Make high velocity physics not crash sims. Go double float. the 1.77e306 format is standardized, and supported natively by both G4s and any pentium past the P2, so it can't be that much of a slowdown to do so.

6) Drop extra zeroes when displaying floats. Provide llTrunc(float value, integer digits) to facilitate rounding.

7) Network bandwidth throttling that allows you to specify both incoming and outgoing bandwidth to use (two sliders). For those playing on ADSL, who often have 1.5mbit/128kbps .. which is alot of people, you move the current slider above 100kbps and it will saturate outgoing. But keeping at 100kbps will make SL too slow!

8) Allow things like llStopAnimation, which takes a name, also take the key and autoresolve the key to a name.

Well this is all I can think of for now..
