OK, I've been wandering round SI, and it looks damn awesome. What is
stopping AWI from loading that browser up into AW? I can't help thinking
we're being ignored here.

Two words: compatibility issues

You can thank AWI's corporate customers (or rather corporate sweetheart
lol) for that since they do not have concerns about compatiblity issues. On
other hand, for AW Universe itself, that's entirely different story. Also
considering the fact that AWI's development team in addition to its
volunteer testing team are still, in my opinion, insufficient due to
ridiculiously small staff that AWI possesses and that volunteer testing team
gave me impression indirectly that it was extremely under-manned.

In other word, since price hikes has resulted in so many of our citizens
leaving, that also meant losses of many potential volunteer testers, even
those who had already experience doing those testing for AWI in past. I can
name a few, not all, which includes among well-known citizens such as Eep
(of course, he has already been banned by Roland but I dunno if that's still
the fact since Roland's departure but Eep has already moved on to SL, though
he still visits AW lately, as evident by update on his history page that I
just discovered today and, well, I don't know about Lara, although I did
notice there has been some minor updates at her NW Building Supply but I
haven't seen her online lately, and not even in this newsgroup or anywhere
in AW communities for the matter of fact.

I can't think of who else but, yeah, while we do have a sizable pool of
potential volunteers remaing, it's still insufficent. I'm not objecting to
the idea of closed beta testing but I am only expressing a concern that AWI
staff and volunteer team are seriously lacking in enough manpower for this
whole process.

I also was shocked to discover that, prior to the hiring announcement made
by AWI recently, Stacee is the only artist in AWI as far as I know. Gand,
the other artist, already left. I can only say that's a big workload for her
as the AWI's only remaining artist. I think that addition of another artist
ought to alleviate that situation. I already knew Shamus Young and chrispeg
are programmers, which meant two programmers is alright to me but that's
still below the peak of numbers of programmers AWI had before, which is
pathetic and disappointing. The fact that Stacee is the only artist in AWI
with so much projects and burdens upon her is even more outrageous.

And I can guarantee you that those situation is making AWI so slow in many
aspects of business, not only causing delays in projects but also
longer-than-usual delays for AW 4.1 as well other problems. I have to say
I'm not very pleased with the impression I'm getting from AWI's situation.

Wells, the people behind SI, quickly needed an alternative to Second
Life, the platform they were using. They were given the AW 4.1 BETA to
test out and it's going good for them.

Of course, it won't go good for us until:
1. It is a stable/open beta version with all the very bad bugs fixed
2. They develop a solution for the incompatiablity problem with builds.
One main reason for giving the beta to Wells was that, of course, they
have no builds that need fixing to the new AW 4.1 system. On the
otherhand, everything in AW needs to be re-propdumped/converted into the
new AW 4.1 format.

Not to mention SI is just an example of what you can do with 4.1, once it
gets released to the public, people will be coming up with much better/more
complex ways of working with the commands, which hopefully the beta team
will do to catch the bugs that'll surely result...
