Roadmap — Future-Proofing Builders Brewery LSL Tools

This roadmap prioritizes low maintenance and high teaching value.

Phase 1 — Foundation (Current)

• Clean project structure
• Leveled example scripts (beginner → advanced)
• Official-definition generator
• Basic Sublime syntax + settings
• Documentation for external editors and beginners
• Maintenance guide designed for limited staff
• Basic CI validation

Phase 2 — First Public Release (Next human actions)

• Run generator against current official lsl_definitions.yaml
• Publish new repository under buildersbrewery
• Archive old 2020-era repositories
• Update website / Discord / in-world links
• Short announcement for the media blitz

Phase 3 — Strengthening (After first release)

• Generate real Sublime completions + tooltips from the YAML
• Add 4–6 more advanced examples (pathfinding, PBR/GLTF, robust experiences, multi-script patterns)
• Optional: simple “What’s new in LSL” page generated from definition dates
• Community call for example-script contributions

Phase 4 — Long-term Resilience

• Scheduled check for newer official definitions (GitHub Action)
• Clear “Adopt-a-section” model so volunteers can own examples or docs
• Consider light VS Code support using the same generated data
• Annual review of whether the project still meets the not-for-profit teaching mission

Guiding Questions for Any Future Change

1. Does this reduce or increase the work required from limited staff?
2. Does this help a complete beginner or only advanced users?
3. Can a new volunteer understand this in one sitting?
4. Does this stay honest about what is official Linden Lab data vs what we added for teaching?
