Purchasing Power: Second Life-via-Ajax project adds L$ payments from Web to SL, other features

Last week, indefatigable young Katharine Berry resumed work on AjaxLife, her revolutionary web-to-SL open source project, often struggling against the Lindens themselves to keep it working. The latest update includes a raft of fixes and features; most powerful of all, in my opinion, is the ability to pay L$ from the Web to a Resident in Second Life (pictured above.) If Linden Dollars are ever going to succeed as a Net-wide microcurrency system, this strikes me as an essential feature.

There's also a new log-in site, some bug announcements, and more-- just go to Katharine's blog and scroll down for a full brief.
