How is it decided what features get added to the Second Life viewer and which don ? Do Residents get to play a role in this?
Residents will play an increasing role in the shaping and prioritization of new features. Linden Lab will continue to be the arbiters of which features will be included in the Second Life viewer as downloaded from secondlife.com. However, we’ll have new tools and provide assistance to help residents collaborate on more well-formed proposals that are more likely to be implemented by Linden Lab and others. Additionally, we hope to see alternate clients, so that much in the same way that people can choose their web browser today, they will also be able to choose from an array of virtual reality browsers to connect to the Second Life Grid.
