Directly modifying the SL viewer seems a bit scary to me. Wouldn't an
in-world object or attachment serving as a "spybot" for the croquet
world (and vice versa) be a bit easier to develop and maintain?
It might be, but I'm not sure how to trap IM and group chat via such a
thing in world. and any such technique would be using a hole in SL
security that Linden Labs would plug as soon as possible, because
private IMs are supposed to be private.
Better would be a "blessed" interface with the client's chat/IM I/O that
plug-ins and external applications could use, but they're so far behind
on bug-fixes, not to mention their transition to the new "HetGrid"
architecture, that I'm not holding my breath for that to happen.
This is something that *I*, as an intelligent script kiddie, can
probably do in a short while.
