OPEN FORUM: OPEN VIEWER EXPO?

Late last month, I launched a Hud Expo to showcase the best user-created heads-up displays which improved the interface.  I was right about to start posting entries, when Linden went and open-sourced the viewer.  So now I'm seriously thinking of restructuring the contest entirely.  Should I repurpose it into an Open Viewer Expo, showcasing the best interface improvements?  And if so, what improvements would you love to see first?  Post here (and post often.)

Yes, sounds like it could be a broader Resident experience Expo, showcasing both HUDs and customized Viewers alike. Helps foster creativity on both fronts, I hope, and increase awareness.

I'd like to see (whether this is feasible or not, I'll leave to the experts):

* Double-dash run like in There — e.g., tap up arrow twice quickly instead of Ctrl-R.

* Ability to email postcards and save to disk with a single keystroke (currently, I have to email via the Snapshot Preview floater, then Ctrl-` and save to disk).

* Customizable colors for the Mini-Map (I'm not the only one who feels it can sometimes be hard to see, esp. when you're on your own land with a lot of glaring cyan).

* Add a Preference for antialiasing — I don't know of another way to set it than my graphics card's Control Panel. A lot of Resis, even those with high-end cards, don't have added antialiasing turned on! On photos, it looks *so* much smoother 'round the edges.

* More configurable "Mouse Moves Sun" that can be changed with the precision of the Camera Controls or Alt-zoom (and variants thereof). Would be very useful for taking pictures at a desired time of day. Even a client-side sunphase slider would be great!

* Favorites/Bookmarks menu for Landmarks that functions more like a web browser's, incl. hierarchical folders.

* Ability to hide almost UI and still allow chatting, kinda like a "Myst-mode". Would be great for uncluttered conversation.

* Along the same lines, something similar to Photoshop's Tab key to hide all palettes would be grand.

* VERTICAL IM TABS. OH GOSH PLEASE. Context: http://torley.com/why-my-web-browsers-vertical-tabs-rock-hardcore/

* Uploading of PNG, OGG, and MP3 files would be nice too... it came up after yesterday's great Town Hall with Cory!

O, and one more for now, since I know this is important to international folks not in PST:

* If you click the time in the upper-right corner, it shows you a simple time converter. Even a link to something like http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ would be nice.

And oooh ooooh this is pretty straightforward and could use creativity:

* Ideas to make F1 Help, Knowledge Base, and related help resources more prominent in the Viewer. It seems those still get missed out on a lot.

Actually, the double-tap run concept is possible with LSL. It'd be faster and more reliable if it's client-based, however.

I'll probably end up downloading the winner.
Sounds like a good idea, Hamlet. Go with it. But give people a chance to puzzle out LL's code first.

I'd like to see the HUD expo entries posted anyway -- if nothing else, it might inspire some client improvements!

KABUL (AFP) – A suicide attack near a German diplomatic convoy in Afghanistan's capital Kabul left three Afghan civilians dead Sunday as 20 other people, most of them insurgents, were reported killed in other unrest.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the suicide bomb, the second in Kabul in three days, but similar ones have been claimed by Taliban-led extremists waging an insurgency.

A German foreign ministry spokesman in Berlin said a vehicle belonging to its embassy in Kabul had been targeted.

"The sole occupant of the vehicle, an Afghan employee of the embassy, was injured," the spokesman said.

President Hamid Karzai's office said in a statement three civilians were killed and six wounded in the blast, which it described as a "barbaric terrorist action".

Have you heard that Hoodia Gordonii could come in pills, tea, powder, or liquid forms? You might be overwhelmed with the options you may face when you plan to take in Hoodia Gordonii for weight loss. Some people ask if tea is better than pills.

Some people feel that tea is relatively more effective than pills. Perhaps, it is because our system reacts faster to the tea than in pills. In a short span of 10 minutes, you can already feel the effect of Hoodia Gordonii while the pills will take about 30 minutes to take effect.

Many webmasters on the digital world may wonder how they can get high rankings through google and ultimiately annihilating google. There are many ways in which a webmaster can increase their rankings through search engine optimization. One of the key factors of search engine optimization is your keyword selection.

Webmasters may find many profitable niches and keywords through various forms. One way is to find keywords through "google keywords". Google keywords allows you to search for searched keywords, and other keywords in their relevance to your keyword. Some webmasters also may use what's called wordtracker. Wordtracker finds keywords in a particular niche, and will tell you the competition of that niche.

Webmasters can also create blogs for their website. Every good website out there has a blog. It's a proven fact. If you have a website and you don't have a blog, I recommend you get one. Blogs are the key to getting traffic, because they are always updated, and google loves them. By creating a blog, you allow yourself to be exposed to many keywords, and tagged keywords from your blog. Blogs are a great way to get traffic to your website.

Another way for google annihilation that webmasters love to use, are automated content generating pages. You can do them through what are called autoblogs. These autoblogs will generate your content for your, and you will get thousands of hits on google search engines from long tailed keywords garnished towards your main niche.
