[sldev] "scripting the user interface" jira

[Lawson English]

https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-1847


The user interface for the Second Life client should be scriptable using 
Lua or some other scripting language in a fashion similar to that found 
here:

http://www.wowwiki.com/WoW_UI_Customization_Guide

A description of the Lua language is found here:

http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html

Any language *other than* LSL might be used to script the GUI for the 
client. The most that LSL or some mono-based language should ever do in 
this regard is evoke the client-side scripting language and pass scripts 
to the client that are cached in notecards in a HUD (or whatever). This 
allows for a cleaner design, with less clutter of the SL scripting 
language and allows GUI scripting to remain independent of the 
capabilities of whatever language is used for SL scripting.
