+# Potential problems with integrating with the overall game engine
+A chief problem we want to avoid is allowing people to 'escape' the scripting engine and get access to all objects in the overall engine
+
+# Roadmap for integrating with the overall game engine
+
+
+
+
+# On adding different instances of the scripting engine
+There should be a single monolithic instance of the scripting engine
+All context-dependent scripts running should have their context provided
+
+IE, lets say I'm the client and I want to fire an event when a client-side effect completes,
+I'd provide a copy of the client's scene as a part of the function call on javascript side
+That way for any unforseen reason the client could still get access to the server's objects
+
+IE, lets say I'm a script running on a specific scene on the server,
+I'd provide the specific scene to the function call
+
+IE, lets say I'm some script firing every time a user logs in,
+I'd provide the new user object and the global server user tracking service
+That way you could still drill down to individual scenes on the server if you needed to
