I suppose you meant that I broke the standalone builds as the parabuild
servers and my own machines do build just fine. But your point is well
taken: that llqtwebkit lib should be build-able from an up-to-date repo
somewhere. I have to confess I do not build it myself so that's something
I'll have to dig through.

First, about me, I do not do server side coding and am not involved in
protocol evolution. There are plenty of Lindens though lurking on sldev and
quite a few of them do work on server side code. That being said, no one
changes the protocol willy nilly so it's not like anyone could point you to
"xyz Linden" being "the one" making protocol changes. A lot of
considerations come into play wrt protocol changes: support, backward
compatibility, security, deployment just to name a few. IOW, your question
cannot be answered simply which is certainly why no one answered it so far.

What would be more productive though is to know which improvements you think
would need protocol or server side changes and bring those issues into a
discussion. I'm sure that if such a discussion was to start, the relevant
Linden would jump in and comment as Josh did recently for instance on server
cap on the map thread. Would that work with you?

Cheers,
