[sldev] Where to Start?

[Mike Monkowski]

Anthony, I think perhaps Ken misread your note.  Ken is saying that 
there is no stable viewer built from the open source code.  This is 
true.  The binaries of the viewer are built by Linden from source in 
another repository and then the code is copied to the open source 
repository.

But I think you're asking where to find open source code for a stable 
viewer.  In that case, look at 
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Source_downloads  1.18.2.0 is the latest 
release, but 1.18.3.2 is the latest release candidate, which is pretty 
stable.

I'm also guessing that you mean a newbie to the SecondLife open source 
project, not a newbie to programming.  If so, a good place to start is 
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Open_Source_Portal
