Anyhoo. With regards to Socky, there are a few updates in the pipeline for next version (v1.1 beta)


1)
Remove standard log output. While great fun during development, it cloggers the log file and you can get the same functionality by using the server API logging functions.


2)
Console friendly docs included in package (used to be on my blog)


3)
Add include script file function (if easily doable. Otherwise postpone to later version)


4)
Linux/OS X terminal launch scripts.


5)
Remove sample server plugins and move to seperate downloads.


6)
GUI launcher for Windows (and maybe OS X) for launching a server. If an error is detected in the script it will open a simple text editor with the cursor on the error line and you can correct it and relaunch the server.
This should make it easier to develop. A future endevor might be a live &#106avascript debugger while the server is running but let's see ;)


One of the exciting features that will appear in a later version is the possibility of Socky to work as a master server for a batch of Socky servers.
Basically this update will allow inter-server communication.

Exciting new stuff ahead :)
