Avatar physics are already promoted to the current beta version on http://secondlife.com/support/downloads/?lang=en-US

So no need for the development version. Already in beta.

Thanks for the resource info. I'm pretty happy with the one i blogged about on the 5th (http://poultryreport.blogspot.com/2011/04/bounce-bounce.html) but it is good to try variations. More importantly, try your favorite or frequent anims and tweak accordingly.
