[sldev] "scripting the user interface" jira

[Dzonatas]

I agree, but I don't use Lua.

I've been anxious to devote more time to put the OO language in that I 
developed. There are just a few issues that I've wanted to get done first.

 From the looks of the UI Roadmap ( 
https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/UI_Roadmap ) it appears a neutral API 
is workable for any script engine capable to plug-in to the API can also 
work.

There is no specific API as of yet.
