Description
Kokua is an open source viewer for Second Life and OpenSim-based virtual worlds. The goal of Kokua is to improve the user interface and usability of the viewer through community involvement, thoughtful design, modern development methods, and a pro-change atmosphere.
Introduction
This page highlights test viewers available of Kokua, the next generation Imprudence client based on Second Life Viewer 2 & 3. Features may come and go from test viewer to test viewer — it does not necessarily mean that a feature is being officially added to or removed from the viewer, just that things are being tested out. These viewers will also tend not to be widely announced or distributed due to their experimental nature. These are alpha viewers (that's before beta), and while we don't know of any game-breaking bugs in them (unless otherwise stated), we still recommend caution when using them. To be absolutely safe, we recommend those wishing to test these viewers use an alt account that does not have valuable items in its inventory, profile etc. Considered yourself warned!
These viewers are provided as a courtesy for those who want to try the bleeding edge ('bleeding' being a key word). These viewers are not considered ready for wide public release and there is no support provided with these viewers. Source code for these viewers is available, though it may take us a little while to get it posted on this page for each version as these are just being thrown up on the wiki here as the code is being finalized, so that it can be tested for bugs.
Testing Best Practice for Experimental Viewers
Kokua Experimental viewers are tested by the developers for basic functionally. Full regression testing is not done. Therefore, there can be bugs not revealed by basic functional testing.
While the viewer is supplied under LGPL license, which has use-at-own-risk clauses, the Kokuaviewer Project wants our viewer tested in what we think is a safe manner.
Inventory loss is possible while using any viewer, especially one with only limited use.
We recommend that at first log on, a throw-away account be used.
If you want to test these viewers on the Second Life platform, we recommend using the Second Life beta grid (Aditi), so that you don't endanger your main account. To have a copy of your current inventory available in Aditi, change your Second Life password. Then, after 24 hours, your Aditi inventory should be be to date.
