After show comments

I've left a copy at the landing place on Micrographia if anyone's interested. It works OK-ish there (let's remember that this is a WIP after all). What I forgot yesterday was that (i) certain OSSL functions require that you own the world, (ii) that perms would need to be set for sub-objects in order for the world owner (Selby) to get a full copy that worked as intended. What was lacking was proper defensive coding to ensure that it failed gracefully.

Somebody (Isis?) suggested that it either was or could be a storybook. An earlier version did in fact have a book format and pageturn animation. As most of the build is timeline-based, it has inherent narrative qualities but I think the idea in a more general sense has potential and is something I'm interested in pursuing.
----------
One of the great things about the WIP session was the diversity of individual contributions. We had avatars, animations, clothing, prim and mesh builds, scripting, etc. There was content of interest to both experts and n00bs. Of course, not all topics were of equal interest to me at present (who knows in the future?) but my attention was held throughout by the relatively tight timescale. Great work on the format by Serene and Selby.

One area I am interested in following up over the Summer is the use of NPCs in theatrical performances so I look forward to more in that vein in due course
