The company's exploring a lot of ideas, but I haven't heard any
proposal for eliminating the stand-alone viewer or for making
incompatible changes. A lightweight in-browser viewer isn't
incompatible with open source either.

If anyone's really worried about the service becoming incompatible
with an open source viewer during their current premium term and
that's what's holding them back from contributing, I'll make a deal
personally. Get a patch into Snowglobe and I'll pay back the cost of
your premium out-of-pocket if SL is designed to become incompatible
with Snowglobe by your next premium renewal.
