New World Notes: Is WindLight Frustrating Some Second Life Educators? (Updated)

I commented on this post back when it first appeared, and I only just today returned to see the follow up comments. There is some fascinating stuff in the comments, most notably Qarl's statement that he has reached out to Nicholaz Beresford and that he and other developers in Linden Lab are beginning to do something to try to improve the open source program, I would imagine in an attempt to address some of Nicholaz's concerns.

While I think it's a good move to address the concerns, I always take these kind of things with a grain of salt -- i.e. Nicholaz's statement that he's done with Second Life development. I can't tell you the number of times I've seen this sort of thing on open source mailing lists, forums, Web sites, etc. There is always some valid concern in such criticisms but I could do without all the hand waving and drama, no offense meant to Nicholaz.
