As this is related to the entire Community, as many people just come and go,
an important announcement.

Chantal has been a great caretaker for AWTeen and often put herself in the
line of fire with people for the sake of the world.

I hope everyone wishes her well and congratulates her on a job well done,
and also welcomes in Netwire who I assure you is more than capable of the
job and has been helping manage AWTeen for many years.

In short, as long as you have sufficent ability Dreamweaver is absolute God,
especially for developing huge sites using your own templates, PHP MySQL and
other scripting languages etc, also it has rich integrated testing and
html-validation systems.

I would consider it, of course. However as I have no idea when the hell the
next one is I could not possibly say if I would still be here at that time
or not.

Wow arnt you the cocky one.

You will get the upgrades once the developers finish creating 4.1's alpha
and the Alpha and Beta team suitably test it, until then... why don't you
stop using this outdated stagnent software?

As far as I know there has been so much dev put into other projects it will
all be brought together from all the custom builds and put into a single
very highly powered browser. (ie: 4.1)

Of course, the absolutly enormous power behind the 4.x is the server-side
technology making things like RPG's with 10's of thousands of simultainious
people, session-by-session rights and even view (of course this is if AWI
ever releases the framework for the community developers to do this).
Granted NewAW may be taking eons and complete when it should have only taken
4 month, but the idea works and if you think things like Mutation and AWRPG
are good now you would find it hard to BELIEVE the possibilities if they
were on one of these servers.

Also brilliant back end database selectability this means that things like
MySQL are now able to be used meaning you could do backups in seconds with a
single shell command.

Also, this nifty little thing at the bottom of
http://objects.activeworlds.com/AXTest/default.html, uh... not sure if im
allowed to give that out but what the hell.

Voice over IP is of course coming very soon and already has a fully working
implimentation.

Other things ive seen are fixed camera modes, web page browser control etc.

Were also looking at a complete security upgrade using a lot more tactful
encryption, so while useless if Sleepy E is bored one day; for every other
person who wants to try it, AW should become a lot more harder to break.

Sounds like there are also plans in the pipe for dynamic object properties
and world properties (notice how the dialogs changed several versions back
to support dynamically created options menus).

Andddd so on and so forth...

In short, as long as the AWI coders can somehow make the framework secure
enough for general release you can expect a set of Gen-3 (MMO) RPG's, ermm
trying to think of an example... ok, You walk into an area thats foggy, as
you get closer to the centre of it the world server updates the world
settings gradually increasing the level of fog just for your individual
avatar up every few seconds or so when you move about, making the fog appear
to be changing density.

You should have got an account named 'active worlds inc' it would make a
rather interesting situation to have the actual CEO of a rival company in
for a visit.

[View Quote] Ohhhh you got that 1 in there didnt you :O

Now you see the 'intelligence' based company would reporgram the build 21
Customs Aide to something a bit more well... clever, centralised DB for
tracking things like monitored IP's (say there.com's offices, anything in
..edu etc [I did this in AWEdu, twas rather effective]).

Throw in some chat monitoring, if people start mentioning there.com and such
be alerted to it over the network so if someone has the time they can drop
in and challenge them.

The AW Browser also installs an AWT MIME type set to auto-launch (do not
confirm open) so when you click a link, it downloads a file with the
teleport coordinates on the first line (it just a txt file) and it opens
with the active worlds browser.

If no browser is open it loads it, if it is already open it is told to
teleport.

They are BHO's (Browser Helper Objects) and when you get the good ones they
are good (Google). Others install shite.

Firefox would simply deny the use of such things, reducing possible
functionality?

IE or not if you had attempted to install most those toolbars you would have
got the spyware, IE or not.

Like you said, its all about knowing what things do when you install things.

with a fix for it in.

Go AWI, (PS: Keep up with the build list)

No prob :)

In my experience they cloak it before the alpha and prelim beta teams all
start dumping secure information into it so thats probably why. I wouldent
think too much of it, its been done before, just a security consideration I
think.

You can always register to news://news.activeworlds.com/beta and if you do
it quick enough you can use a pending auth for one of the others (bots,
community etc) to let you see the post # in Beta (on IE at least). However,
without authorisation for it (based on citizen options) it will not be
returned to you when you request a list of all of the newsgroups.

It could be that something has forced clients to refresh their list of
newsgroups on the server and as a result it has dissapeared off everyones
lists, but its a new one to me.

You can usually tell that when the alpha / beta team's start dissapearing at
random and come back swearing about crashes... Its a fairly good indicator,
at least initially.
