OSI (O.S.I. Official SCAR Include) is the next generation of library resource for SCAR. This project is primarily a response to the executive SRL decision to discontinue support in SRL after SRL 4 (SRL 5 and onwards) for SCAR. OSI is for SCAR 3.26 and onwards.
Our goal is to create a flexible include or library of automation relevant macroing that SCAR users will find helpful in order to create scripts for a multitude of games and other automated tasks. The include is divided into categories and subcategories in order to provide the end user with the ability to use what resources he/she needs while not wasting compilation on irrelevant resources. For now, our primary focus is providing such resources for RuneScape v2 by Jagex L.T.D.. Global standardization, neatness, organization, flexibility, and automative-human-like-simulation are of our highest priorities.
We are currently using private SVN space maintained by Freddy1990, the currently developer of SCAR after its original creator Kaitnieks passed it down to him, with restricted access to those who will be developing the include hands on and a selected few who will contribute in other ways such as feedback and testing.
At full public release, OSI will be publicly announced and available on www.github.com where it will be maintained and developed after the current private developmental phases.

Now... regarding the implications of this statement....
I have been a SCAR user since 2005. I have been a registered user of SRL since late 2006. I have been a member of SRL since mid 2007. I was rejected in my application to be an SRL Developer in early 2009. I have been a senior member of SRL since late 2009. After my contributions to the SRL Anti-random, or random solving, I was asked to become an SRL developer. I was polled, accepted, and admitted to the SRL team Feb 2010. Since then I have done what I've can to develop and contribute to SRL to the best of my ability.
About a year ago a new replacement for SCAR revealed itself to me, simba. I have supported simba under the condition that I can also support SCAR. I knew then that this condition was not one that would be available forever. At the time of this realization I began planning and developing a separate include from SRL that I will be primary leader of, OSI. It hasn't been until recent months that I have truly stopped most of my contributions towards SRL and focused on my new ideal.
Until now, SRL has always been my home and main priority in my computer coding related life, and it will always be my true origin.. although I discovered this place and SCAR through an old and dead forum now called scar-scripts.com.
I wish SRL, simba, and all of its members well on its journey and goals. But sadly I will not be along for the ride. You may see me come by and make posts or share my knowledge... even ask for help from time to time, but I will no longer be who I've been for these forums all these years.
This is a tough decision to make, and I did everything in my power to try and reason my way into coexisting here with the new SRL, but it has failed and is no longer worth anyone's time nor effort to come to a solution that involves coexistence.
From this point forward, SRL and Simba, OSI and SCAR will exist in two separate communities under two separate leaderships and administrations. Anyone is welcome to be apart of our community just as I hope anyone who is a SCAR/OSI folk is welcome to be a member of Simba/SRL. We will accept everyone on an individual basis not based on your status or history at SRL as we hope you do for us in return.
I hope that we will coexist in separate forums on good terms and share useful advice, common code, goals, and other material for our mutual benefit, just make separate decisions now without holding back any longer.. for the greater good.
Consider this my final post as an SRL user, from now on I'd like to be considered an inter-community representative from SCAR. I would also like any other representatives to be treated the same here including Node (aka Timer), as long as he behaves . You can expect the same hospitality from us over at our community.
Cheers
