[sldev] Windlight / Making easier use of Sky Presets

[Opensource Obscure]

I made some linking between issues about server-side 
management of sky settings and other 'Windlight' things.

Meta-Issue : Estate Improvements

Please read/comment/vote as you feel appropriate on 
http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-7677 and related issues.

Personally I think that the most important issue is described
by Lex Neva in the first comment at
http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-2736


What is the status of this topic as a whole? 
Did anyone work on it at Linden Lab since last year?


An idea:
what about creating a new GUI widget that lets users choose
Sky Presets more easily than the current 5-steps way e.g.
World > Env.Settings > Env.Editor > Adv.Sky > Sky Presets ?

Then at least land managers could suggest to visitors which
Sky preset to choose, and visitors could do it more easily.

Or, in alternative, a new shortcut that directly opens the 
Sky Presets floater may do the trick as well. 
I quickly tried to do that myself by reading wiki instructions
and modifying XML files, but I had no luck yet.

This wouldn't solve the issue of custom presets - but it may be 
an easier task to accomplish as (I think) it wouldn't require
heavy reworking of the whole subsystem.
Maybe an idea for the open source project?


(note - I didn't found an existing specific PJIRA issue 
about this idea and I did not create one yet)
