I don't think separating "creator" like that is a good idea. Everyone in SL is
potentially a creator, at every moment, that's what

I like the suggestion that the "basic" mode be called something like "tourist"
or "introductory" or "beginners" mode. There's just so much stuff that people
need to be able to do that it seems to be ruling out, I can't imagine anyone
sticking with it for long. "Basic" implies that someone could

I agree Oz - but as I have found 91 hard-coded colours in /default/xui/en/
alone
I hardly felt like listing them all. I restrict myself to logging JIRAs for
crashing, performance or serious usability is

To be fair they have enabled skinning in Viewer 2.6.0, and I am
I like those: my mind was in a conflict whether the list should be
sorted alphabetically or, as currently done, by purpose. With names
like you are proposing, both would be the same!

"Intro
It requires two restarts, doesn't it? One to quit and exit and restart to the
login screen, and then a second once you make the mode switch to advanced.
It's a great idea, but the execution needs some work. My concerns/impressions
so far:
1) As with a lot of other software, a significant chun
Wondering if the ability to create a user's own spotlights is desirable?
That would add an extra control point to the UI which we do not want ... may
be. I think we will find that some UI features in the basic mode will
migrate to the advanced mode as they are found to be useful not only for

Does the "Advanced" menu in the "Advanced" mode get renamed to "Expert"
or something to avoid confusion?

Sorry, I should make sure to
This is a great move, we've been looking forward to this for years. Am
thinking hot swap between modes without a restart could be a plus, a
separate smaller basic client could also be desirable ...I think.

Played with it a bit more and am now less worried about my point 4 as the 'How

There is the oddity that you can get the inventory to appear if you get given

Just wanted to second OO's comments. I concur that this is a great step towards
