The Gadget Alpha Code

Here we go. One of the big problems of second life is the problem of http length limits. Another big problem is the lack of external reference. This gadget will help fix both

What it does: I put it in a HUD, but when rezzed it listens on channel 4. It then looks up in the Second Life Wiki the article. I need to add in redirect intercepts and fix some formatting things so it can read wikipedia.

Try it with Lillie Yifu.

This will work with any mediawiki installation that supports the action=raw input. Right now the lsl wiki does not. But we can fix that. Why aren't I selling this? Because it would be wrong, and it is too useful as open source. This means that if you can set up a mediawiki, and there are close to free options, you can store text. There are lots of features to add to this bit of code. But it works in the basic sense.

Now what we need is for people to start filling out the second life wiki...
