Here's a few Jira items that I'm supporting, and would like to drum up some votes for. They relate to scripting, and therefore we all have a vested interest in them. Come check these items out, comment on them if you have feedback, and VOTE if you want Linden Labs to notice the proposals.

Oh, and feel free to post more Jira entries to this thread.

New Function: llDieAttached
https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-2282
Ever get frustrated that you can't delete a worn object? tired of piling up people's inventories with disposable HUDs because all you can do is llDetach? Give this jira entry a little love.

New Function: llDrop
https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-2281
Boxhead.. we've all seen it. I guess now it's "boxhand".. Customer buys a new item and WEARS it out of inventory, only to find a box on their body. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could use lLDrop to knock that box onto the ground?

New Particle Flag: PRIM_GLOW
https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-1640
Glow is amazing stuff,, and glowing particles are amazing too. We can already make particles fullbright, but we can't set a bit to make the particles glow on their own. Jetpack flames, fireworks, streaming beams of force energy, sparks from a campfire, and fireflies... we need this.

Addition to new Function: llTextBox needs a prefill option.
http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-2406
This is something that SEEMS to be coming soon.. a text-entry version of llDialog.. allowing the end user to "say" on a given channel. The cool thing is, no more "/3" commands, you can simply prompt the user for a response on a random channel. The only problem is, the current version of llTextBox doesn't come with a predefied value for the text box itself.. so you can't say "what would you like to call this object" and then offer them the current name as an option. It's kind of complicated to explain, but basically this Jira asks for a "value" field in the llTextBox command where the scripter can place a predefined value.

New Function: llTextBoxDialog
https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-2405
A combination of good old llDialog, and the new lltextBox, again with a call for the ability to include a predefined "value" string.

Thanks for the pimping JIRA issues thread... here are a few that I've been hit with:

Bug: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-1128
llGiveInventory deletes no-copy objects if user declines them. Which is a bad, bad thing as it leads to inventory loss by a single click.

New Function: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-2297
Did you know that switching states clears event queue? If you have two states, and listen to same user input in both, it doesn't mean that you haven't missed user input while switching states. Same goes for linked messages.

New Feature: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-275
Viewer-side scripts. Makes perfect sense for some HUDs.

New Function: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-1132
New LSL inventory function - llRenameInventory.

New Function: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-377
LSL functions to access the description of objects in an object's inventory.

New Feature: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-910
Introduce LSL feature to detect that owner has shared it with another person.
There is currently no way for an object to recognize the person who has full permissions but is not owner. Thus, object cannot treat that person as the owner... which leads to situation where person has full perms to an object, but object won't react to his commands. Object can detect group and "share with group", but not if it's shared with a friend.

New Feature: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/MISC-431
LSL multiline comments. This one is a classic. :)

New Feature: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-790
Add regular expression functions to LSL.
