The general message I get from Imprudence and Kokua users is that they
like the Imprudence user interface.  There was a great deal of work done
by the Imprudence developers before I joined the team to make the
Imprudence user interface make more sense.  I like the work they did,
and I would not want to throw it away.

Other developers may have other ideas, but I suspect we are all on the
same page here.  The Kokua part of the team might mention their take on
this subject, since they started with a v3 user interface.

That link is dead.  A search turned up a teaser for that article, but
again the link was dead.  However, an article you wrote yesterday links
to that same article, and this link is live.

That new feature is not stable yet, and not in any OpenSim release.
The last I heard Melanie requested that viewer developers wait a while
for it to settle down before implementing it.  So we will do the right
thing and wait for it to be stable.

That was decided at a meeting long ago that I had missed out on.
Unfortunately the transcript for that meeting was never posted, so I
can't provide a link, nor have I read the transcript.  I hope that
someone that was at that particular meeting can provide some insight.
