We've come a long way, baby. This Developer's Journal seems to not be on the current website anymore but archived and preserved for the posterity of SL's history, it's a real treasure to read. May take awhile to load:

Wanted to get in first with:
There has been talk in Second Life and rumors in the forums about the impending migration to "Havok 2." Some of you may be wondering what this means and how it will affect the Second Life experience. This issue of the Developer's Journal will try to answer these questions and shed some light on where Second Life will be going in future releases. Havok 2 October 23, 2003 By Andrew Meadows Not that I'm really bothered about physics right at the moment (and I reckon LL are holding out on Havok 2 for SL 2.0) but it's nice to be first sometimes.  EDIT: Oh, the link if anyone wants it: http://web.archive.org/web/20040404152357/secondlife.com/news/journal/journal-20031023.php |

Yeah... there are some Linden blogs but no continually-updated dev blog I know of. It'd be nice. Like, REALLY nice.

Would be nice to see more developer stuff, and more information on what's being developed.
Babbage updates his blog pretty frequently: http://secondlife.blogs.com/babbage/ Talked about Mono and some other development. _____________________

Babbage is pretty fun... how can you go wrong with kitchen remixing?

I'll tell you how... Red walls, yellow ceramic tile with pictures of corn on it, and different types of chairs missmatched together to make a set that long since broke.
Thats how!  _____________________

You should totally bastardize his work and send it back to him in a handbasket then, d00d.

I've seen excuses for why there's no developer blogs which run along the lines of "they're working their asses off and don't have time". They must have some way they're keeping track of what they're doing that they could post though, even a webcam of a whiteboard would do me if that's how they work.

Haha, I'm sure he'd love me for that. ;P
I think I annoy enough Lindens as it is, hehe. Edit to add: AJ, yeah, everyone at LL pretty much does the work of 3 people. However I would love to see their development plan, I'm sure they have one, like how Mozilla releases their uh, whatchacallit, that shows what they're planning on doing? _____________________

You mean the roadmap? I've been thinking LL might not want to release one because it'd piss off some peeps when they realise that (shock horror!) some of the development decisions are made for marketing purposes.

Heh, I dunno about THAT. I'd guess more it's because they still have competition and may not want to reveal everything. Or because LL's plans change so frequently (such as with Havok 2) a roadmap may not be the best thing because it'd change so often.

I think you got it on your second try. It's much better to say "We're workig on it" than to say "It will be in 1.8.3".

You're saying that maybe what they're telling us is as much as they know?

Pretty much--They can hold onto more "Aura le Omnipotence" with the "Sometime" option.

Yeah and as we found out, you should NEVER make a promise (*cough*cory*cough*
) about a feature! Unless you are the Dev working on it and it is 100% finished and bug tested... heh._____________________

To leave something openended yet with some semblance of shape and form; what an art.
