Ummm ... there is only one SDK. The VBSDK is just a wrapper control for the
aw one.

The best idea I've seen for publishing/sharing source code is essentially in
a BBS format, on the Perl Monks web-site, where you can people can add
comments and expand on the original code.
http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=13136 for an example.
Add to that a status maintained by the admin and people can make their own
minds up. I don't agree with having code reviewers really ... I think it
would be better to allow the source code to grow with the input from others.

I know what you meant and I don't think that's the way to go. If its going
to be reviewed, then it should be done before it goes on the site ... which
is silly really.
If people download EXEs then its their own responsibility to virus check it.
Its not like the existence of viruses is a little known fact. As far as
source code goes, if people just cut/paste code from places without
understaning it, more fool them. Lazy developers deserve all the trouble
they get.

None of our business, that's what I think. And I don't see any reason why it
should be.
I really don't get what makes people here think that they're anything more

I'm sorry, but saying that you're going to screw something up in advance is
not an excuse for screwing it up. While this release has provided a number
of interesting features to the browser and significant steps forward in the
SDK, it has also had quite a radical effect on the appearance and feel of
some existing content. When that impact is in areas where the changes
provide no obvious tangiable (any??) benefit to the product at this time and
yet render widely used files useless, obsolete or poor, such as the new
animation engine appears to have done, you have to question the wisdom. To
throw this at people with no warning (and I don't regard a single statement
saying "we tried, honest!" as a warning) isn't really good enough is it.
All that a lot of worldowners (especially the less technically minded ones)
have now is some crap animations - animations that they (rightly) assumed
would continue to work as they did when they were first published.
Too many unwelcome changes in my view. Shame.

Glitter Kitty means to lower the height of the plane in the RWX itself -
basically reduce the second argument (the Y-component of the 3D point) in
all the vertex commands by the amount you want to drop it by (0.01 is a good
place to start as GK said).
If you're not into RWX's, its a good little starter for you, but I'm sure
someone will help you if you send them the ground object in question.

I think a more considered, less sarcastic response would have been more
appropriate here.
People have bought citizenships and world licenses based on what
Activeworlds and the SDK did before the forced upgrade ... and the
combination of the changes brought in with 4.1 has clearly moved the
goalposts for many. Now even the design of existing SDK applications needs
to be readdressed because of changes in the platform.
Bearing in mind the level of communication and documentation from AWI
relating to 4.1, I think this type of complaint is only to be expected.
Clearly very few people knew what was coming and the impact it would have on
existing projects or new projects.

Items on my telegrams tab seem to start about an inch below the column

Only seems to happen when a new telegram arrives. Let the tabs window
collapse back to the left and when you bring it back out, the additional
