Is OSL just for guys who code?
We need a repository of the OSL tools which have been coded, similar to the materials library.
I'd have thought Otoy would be making loads of these and setting up a database with instructions on how to use them.
I think OSL is one of those things that was supposed to be "develop once, deploy across every platform", but it never actually worked that way, just like HTML, java, etc. Nobody actually makes their platform stick to the specs, adding their own tweaks and "enhancements" along the way, so unless the person developing content for that platform is SUPER careful and limits themselves to only what is universal, there's a very good chance whatever they make will break in any other environment. And even if they
do limit themselves to the specs, some other platform may not interpret them properly.
Creating and enforcing standards is very hard.
