• [11:05 SLT] Elizart Enzo: i mean what does it take for the lindens to approve me?
• [11:05 SLT] Torben Trautman: and there´s no parents on teen grid either I guess
• [11:05 SLT] Lexie Linden: right
• [11:06 SLT] Elizart Enzo: so there 's no way to do that in the teen grid...
• [11:06 SLT] Torben Trautman: ooo you applied too?
• [11:06 SLT] Lexie Linden: Not unless you are approved Elizart. I'll get you the info link today though
• [11:07 SLT] Elizart Enzo: but i wouldn;t be just me in our land

• [11:08 SLT] Torben Trautman: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Teen_Grid
• [11:08 SLT] Lexie Linden: ok, well you will need to read the information and see if that group can qualify
• [11:08 SLT] Elizart Enzo: if we buy our own land then would it be a problem?
• [11:08 SLT] Torben Trautman: This page explains some of the questions
• [11:08 SLT] Torben Trautman: :)

• [11:12 SLT] Lexie Linden: But likely wont be long either
• [11:12 SLT] Lexie Linden: Yes...he is working fast and hard
• [11:13 SLT] Lexie Linden: It will happen and from what I have seen it will be very nice
• [11:13 SLT] Lexie Linden: Once you all get a chance to try the new set up I think it will help you understand more on how that "Answers" idea can work
• [11:13 SLT] Torben Trautman: will there be new mods for the forums?
• [11:14 SLT] Lexie Linden: I think at some point that will happen but do not know for sure
• [11:14 SLT] Torben Trautman: yay
• [11:14 SLT] Torben Trautman: the german forum is a mess right now
• [11:14 SLT] Lexie Linden: Once the blog is up, I hope the rest will come along quickly
• [11:14 SLT] Torben Trautman: lots of flaming
• [11:14 SLT] Lexie Linden: : (
• [11:14 SLT] Lexie Linden: lol
• [11:14 SLT] Torben Trautman: rofl
• [11:15 SLT] Lexie Linden: It is more than other areas?
• [11:15 SLT] Torben Trautman: oh yes
• [11:15 SLT] Lexie Linden: Is there any particular topic or reason?
• [11:15 SLT] Torben Trautman: it´s a handful of people basically
• [11:15 SLT] Lexie Linden: ahh
• [11:16 SLT] Lexie Linden: Also, I plan to post a blog to vteamblog.com end of the week since we will not have a monthly meeting
• [11:16 SLT] Torben Trautman: awww
• [11:16 SLT] Torben Trautman: yay for the post :)
• [11:16 SLT] Lexie Linden: If we end up having new information earlier in March..possibly we can have an earlier March meeting
• [11:17 SLT] Lexie Linden: If not a meeting, then a blog
• [11:17 SLT] Lexie Linden: lol
• [11:17 SLT] Lexie Linden: Its great to meet..I do like it. But, we dont want to have people come to a meeting if we have no "real" news either
• [11:17 SLT] Lexie Linden: With the blog they can read when they have a chance
• [11:18 SLT] Lexie Linden: We will respond to comments also but likely not until Monday
• [11:18 SLT] Lexie Linden: True, it is up to each person
• [11:19 SLT] Lexie Linden: I think it is maybe...disappointing to go to a meeting and have no real news though
• [11:19 SLT] Lexie Linden: one min
• [11:19 SLT] SullyBaby Gomez: i am a bit partial to the public address
• [11:19 SLT] SullyBaby Gomez: more personal
• [11:19 SLT] Lexie Linden: ahh
• [11:19 SLT] Lexie Linden: that is true too
• [11:19 SLT] SullyBaby Gomez: thats why i like the meeting
• [11:20 SLT] Lexie Linden: Hopefully in March we will have a lot to talk about : ))
• [11:20 SLT] Lexie Linden: Meanwhile, it looks like volunteers are doing what they normally do...helping people awesomely
• [11:20 SLT] Lexie Linden: is that a word?
• [11:20 SLT] Lexie Linden: lol
• [11:20 SLT] Lexie Linden: awesomely
• [11:20 SLT] Torben Trautman: hehe
• [11:20 SLT] Lexie Linden: : ))
• [11:20 SLT] Saxon Streeter: awesomatically
• [11:20 SLT] Lexie Linden: hahaa
• [11:21 SLT] Saxon Streeter: hehe
• [11:21 SLT] Lexie Linden: I do not know where that came from...
• [11:21 SLT] Lexie Linden: But..no
• [11:21 SLT] Lexie Linden: lol
• [11:21 SLT] Torben Trautman: rofl
• [11:21 SLT] Saxon Streeter: really. people think i am welded to HI
• [11:21 SLT] Torben Trautman: oooo... gotta run
• [11:22 SLT] Torben Trautman: have a great day everyone
• [11:22 SLT] Torben Trautman waves
• [11:22 SLT] Lexie Linden: ok Torben, see you soon!
• [11:22 SLT] Lexie Linden: Yes..I do get that question too
• [11:22 SLT] Lexie Linden: Are you real or a bot?
• [11:22 SLT] Lexie Linden: I respond with...please press 1
• [11:22 SLT] Lexie Linden: : )
• [11:22 SLT] Saxon Streeter: lol
• [11:22 SLT] Lexie Linden: : ))
• [11:23 SLT] Saxon Streeter: Paging Doctor Turing...
• [11:24 SLT] Lexie Linden: The only update I have on the Answers idea is: It looks like the new software will support much of what we want to try,
• [11:24 SLT] Lexie Linden: even without any tweaks or changes
• [11:24 SLT] Lexie Linden: So that is good news
• [11:24 SLT] Lexie Linden: There will be some other things that it may not...but I will be talking to blog team this week to see if we can make those happen as well
• [11:25 SLT] Lexie Linden: True SouLDK
• [11:25 SLT] Lexie Linden: Right many still think a Linden is the quick way to help
• [11:26 SLT] Lexie Linden: I think different areas or means of getting help is good. There will always be "official help" and resident to resdient help
• [11:26 SLT] Lexie Linden: I think that choice is good
• [11:27 SLT] Lexie Linden: I dont think it will be more confusing if we are tying it all together with links and solid info about what each place can offer
• [11:27 SLT] Lexie Linden: For me..even in RL..I often ask a friend or someone nearby for assistance before I call a support line or even try to decipher instructions
• [11:27 SLT] Lexie Linden: lol
• [11:27 SLT] Lexie Linden: Everyone is different
• [11:28 SLT] Lexie Linden: I think it is good to offer the options
• [11:28 SLT] Saxon Streeter: That brings me to a question, Lexie. I have noticed a real uptick in freelance help on the HIs lately. I know the mantra is "helping is good" and I want to cooperate....
• [11:28 SLT] Saxon Streeter: I'm not sure the approach here
• [11:28 SLT] Scotts Winkler: hi lexie
• [11:28 SLT] Lexie Linden: Hi Scotts
• [11:28 SLT] Lexie Linden: free lance help..how
• [11:28 SLT] Lexie Linden: HIP or all HI?
• [11:28 SLT] Saxon Streeter: Well, I see people on HI
• [11:29 SLT] Saxon Streeter: They are recently-minted avies, but clearly with an advanced look, helping newbies
• [11:29 SLT] Saxon Streeter: no credentials
• [11:29 SLT] Saxon Streeter: i am not sure how to approach them
• [11:30 SLT] Lexie Linden: ok if you see people like that on the HI..and they are giving new residents title to groups etc...you can AR that
• [11:30 SLT] Saxon Streeter: yep
• [11:30 SLT] Saxon Streeter: ok
• [11:30 SLT] Lexie Linden: HI is not for promotion or recruiting
• [11:30 SLT] Saxon Streeter: right
• [11:30 SLT] Lexie Linden: In those cases its better to let the abuse team sort it out
• [11:31 SLT] Saxon Streeter: Agreed. I am just a bit hazy on if they are not clearly abusing
• [11:31 SLT] Saxon Streeter: but... well, "freelancing"
• [11:31 SLT] Saxon Streeter: just laissez faire?
• [11:31 SLT] Lexie Linden: SouLDK - Might be good if you are helping people to get in the habit of saying you are a Second Life Mentor. That way it is understood up front and no one gets the wrong idea and ARs you
• [11:32 SLT] Lexie Linden: Its hard for you to prove that a person should not be on the HI..that they are not new
• [11:32 SLT] Lexie Linden: You see these people helping in chat?
• [11:32 SLT] Saxon Streeter: Oh yes.
• [11:32 SLT] Lexie Linden: Referring to groups or just general help
• [11:32 SLT] Saxon Streeter: It's pretty clear these are not new residents. No, general help.
• [11:33 SLT] Saxon Streeter: Basically, mentoring
• [11:33 SLT] Lexie Linden: right
• [11:33 SLT] Saxon Streeter: I don't want to sound proprietary
• [11:33 SLT] Lexie Linden: Thats a tough call Saxon
• [11:34 SLT] Saxon Streeter: i am just concerned that we don't know who's getting in there now
• [11:34 SLT] Lexie Linden: For example: I made an account back when I filmed the OI video..and I actually helped someone who asked me a general question on an HI
• [11:34 SLT] Lexie Linden: If its someone who is making an alt..happens to answer a question ..thats understandable
• [11:35 SLT] Saxon Streeter: Typically, I have monitored the chat and if it seems harmless, I stay silent.
• [11:35 SLT] Saxon Streeter: I just felt that there was an increase in this
• [11:35 SLT] Saxon Streeter: Maybe it's not such a big deal
• [11:35 SLT] Saxon Streeter: ok
• [11:35 SLT] Lexie Linden: : ))
• [11:35 SLT] Saxon Streeter: will do
• [11:35 SLT] Saxon Streeter: Thanks!
• [11:36 SLT] Lexie Linden: ahh
• [11:36 SLT] Lexie Linden: Maybe that's also how some like to meet people..even if they are new
• [11:36 SLT] Lexie Linden: A way to get to know people
• [11:36 SLT] Lexie Linden: Some also dont realize there are other places to go, so they just keep logging in there
• [11:37 SLT] Lexie Linden: Might not be a bad idea to ask them if they have tried going to the mainland yet
• [11:38 SLT] Lexie Linden: Actually there is a percentage of people who sign up, log in..learn a bit then dont return for a few eeks
• [11:38 SLT] Lexie Linden: weeks*
• [11:38 SLT] Lexie Linden: RL can get busy
• [11:38 SLT] Lexie Linden: SO, it would be good to not drop them in a new busy spot if they are still "new"
• [11:38 SLT] Lexie Linden: But generally, I do agree with you
• [11:39 SLT] Lexie Linden: Did you all go to the events this month?
• [11:39 SLT] Lexie Linden: VDay and Dunk-a- Linden
• [11:39 SLT] Saxon Streeter: I was at VDay
• [11:40 SLT] Lexie Linden: VDay was so much fun!
• [11:40 SLT] Lexie Linden: awww
• [11:40 SLT] Scotts Winkler: yes it was lexie :)
• [11:40 SLT] Lexie Linden: I was there a couple hours
• [11:40 SLT] Lexie Linden: It was busy and yes a little lagged but so worth it lol
• [11:40 SLT] Scotts Winkler: Mia was their - kissing booth
• [11:40 SLT] Lexie Linden: right
• [11:41 SLT] Lexie Linden: I saw a lot of different people there
• [11:41 SLT] Lexie Linden: right
• [11:41 SLT] Lexie Linden: I think thats one of the best events because everyone is really happy and being super nice to eachother
• [11:41 SLT] Lexie Linden: I like that : ))
• [11:41 SLT] Saxon Streeter: All you need is love! :-))
• [11:41 SLT] Lexie Linden: haha
• [11:42 SLT] Lexie Linden: Dunk-a-Linden is good too
• [11:42 SLT] Saxon Streeter: I did that to a few in Tampa last year. ;-)
• [11:42 SLT] Lexie Linden: lol yes
• [11:42 SLT] Lexie Linden: its like griefing..but not : )
• [11:42 SLT] Saxon Streeter giggles
• [11:42 SLT] Lexie Linden: All just fun
• [11:42 SLT] Saxon Streeter: yes ma'am
• [11:43 SLT] Scotts Winkler: where's the next one in tampa too
• [11:43 SLT] Lexie Linden: SLCC?
• [11:43 SLT] Saxon Streeter: No, San Francisco
• [11:43 SLT] Lexie Linden: Thats what I heard
• [11:43 SLT] Saxon Streeter: Yep
• [11:43 SLT] Lexie Linden: I hope to be there
• [11:43 SLT] Lexie Linden: I missed the last couple
• [11:43 SLT] Saxon Streeter: They're always fun.
• [11:44 SLT] Saxon Streeter: Yes, and I was so dissed! ;-)
• [11:44 SLT] Lexie Linden: I went to the last one in SF
• [11:44 SLT] Lexie Linden: lol
• [11:44 SLT] Saxon Streeter: the real SF
• [11:44 SLT] Scotts Winkler: lol
• [11:44 SLT] Lexie Linden: It would be good to have the volunteers get together : ))
• [11:44 SLT] Saxon Streeter: Absolutely
• [11:44 SLT] Lexie Linden: : (
• [11:44 SLT] Saxon Streeter: I love the Euroes :)
• [11:45 SLT] Lexie Linden: Yes!
• [11:45 SLT] Lexie Linden: Oh I have a question for you all
• [11:45 SLT] Lexie Linden: Mentor channel chat/guidelines
• [11:45 SLT] Lexie Linden: Its been about a year of warnings/notices etc
• [11:45 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: ugh
• [11:46 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: send them to their room
• [11:46 SLT] Lexie Linden: We "may" decide no more warnings
• [11:46 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: oooh
• [11:46 SLT] SullyBaby Gomez: I agree
• [11:46 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: mute
• [11:46 SLT] Lexie Linden: If you do not follow guidelines you lose group
• [11:46 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: use the mute
• [11:46 SLT] SullyBaby Gomez: they know better lexie
• [11:46 SLT] Lexie Linden: Is that to harsh?
• [11:47 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: I say mute
• [11:47 SLT] Lexie Linden: Accidents do happen...
• [11:47 SLT] SullyBaby Gomez: and its usually "repeat offenders"
• [11:47 SLT] SullyBaby Gomez: no, not at all
• [11:47 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: they they cannot type
• [11:47 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: no warning you get muted
• [11:47 SLT] Lexie Linden: hmmm
• [11:47 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: your bad oops you cannot type
• [11:47 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: second offense then throw them out
• [11:47 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: that way if you lose your mind you don't have irreperable damage
• [11:47 SLT] SullyBaby Gomez: Lexie, now that doc brings that up it reminded me of a group I am in
• [11:48 SLT] SullyBaby Gomez: they do not allow chat in the main channel, the fashion consolidated group
• [11:48 SLT] SullyBaby Gomez: they have EVERYONE on mute, its only for group notices
• [11:48 SLT] Lexie Linden: oh wow
• [11:48 SLT] SullyBaby Gomez: so
• [11:48 SLT] SullyBaby Gomez: it might be an idea
• [11:48 SLT] Lexie Linden: ok the mute option I had no thought about
• [11:48 SLT] SullyBaby Gomez: lol
• [11:48 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: and she yells
• [11:49 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne hides
• [11:49 SLT] Lexie Linden: lol

• [11:49 SLT] SullyBaby Gomez: yes doc, you do
• [11:49 SLT] SullyBaby Gomez: lol
• [11:49 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: I run a big group
• [11:49 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: mute is your friend
• [11:49 SLT] Lexie Linden: ok I will be meeting with Mia later today so we can toss this mute idea around
• [11:49 SLT] Lexie Linden: lol
• [11:49 SLT] Lexie Linden: nice
• [11:50 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: after a muting or two you can let them out
• [11:50 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: of the chat
• [11:50 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: but one badly placed oops could be a mute
• [11:50 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: chatty cathy day
• [11:50 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: I think we could open Q&A back up for some
• [11:50 SLT] Lexie Linden: Right, I dont want people to lose group over a true accident etc
• [11:50 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: if your bad you need a spank
• [11:51 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: mute
• [11:51 SLT] Lexie Linden: Q&A is open
• [11:51 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: not everyone is in it
• [11:51 SLT] Lexie Linden: I will send another reminder on it to Mentor group
• [11:51 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: and some of them (no names) need to talk more and respond
• [11:51 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: I manage a large group and we have good days and bad
• [11:51 SLT] Lexie Linden: Right and many do not want it or do not have room
• [11:51 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: people will be people
• [11:52 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: people are causative
• [11:52 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: they respond
• [11:52 SLT] Lexie Linden: true
• [11:53 SLT] Lexie Linden: Are there any particular topics you think should be covered in the end of the month blog I plan to write with Mia?
• [11:53 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: chat guidelines
• [11:53 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne ducks
• [11:53 SLT] Lexie Linden: lol

• [11:56 SLT] Lexie Linden: Its just not easy to get done on the dev side
• [11:56 SLT] Lexie Linden: I have had maybe..5-6 people mention a version of that in the past 30-60 days
• [11:57 SLT] Lexie Linden: So I meet with blog team this week and will also talk to them about if this new software might help somehow make that happen

• [11:03 SLT] Lexie Linden: lol Kitty
• [11:03 SLT] Torben Trautman: I can´t :(
• [11:03 SLT] Lexie Linden: : (
• [11:03 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: we never miss it
• [11:03 SLT] Kitty Beery: i'm not sure i can make it
• [11:03 SLT] Lexie Linden: Its always a good event
• [11:03 SLT] SullyBaby Gomez: ill try to be there lexie
• [11:03 SLT] Torben Trautman: hey Daniel
• [11:03 SLT] Daniel Voyager: Hello everyone :)
• [11:03 SLT] Lexie Linden: awesome
• [11:03 SLT] Rails Bailey: depends on commitments with the gateways
• [11:03 SLT] Kitty Beery: hi daniel
• [11:03 SLT] Lexie Linden: Hi Daniel : ))
• [11:03 SLT] Neovo Geesink: I will try allso,,
• [11:04 SLT] Lexie Linden: I can tell you a little bit on what features I have been looking at for the "answers" site if you are interested?
• [11:04 SLT] Torben Trautman: yay
• [11:04 SLT] Neovo Geesink: OK.
• [11:05 SLT] Lexie Linden: First thing is we think it needs to be very user friendly
• [11:05 SLT] Lexie Linden: I think one of the hardest things in many sites is searching
• [11:05 SLT] Lexie Linden: Wiki is a good example of a tough search
• [11:05 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Indeed.
• [11:06 SLT] Lexie Linden: Ideally if you use tags/keywords in the right way..it could pull up related material better
• [11:06 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Some sort of Fuzzy Search?
• [11:07 SLT] Lexie Linden: So one feature Id like to see is that a search will bring up the related questions but also..bring up the tag cloud with related tags so people have multiple ways to find things
• [11:07 SLT] Lexie Linden: I think setting up the tags will be key
• [11:07 SLT] Lexie Linden: updating tags and consistent use will be another key
• [11:08 SLT] Lexie Linden: When you search for something....do you like when it suggests what others also looked at related to what you searched?
• [11:08 SLT] Lexie Linden: Or is that just extra"
• [11:08 SLT] Torben Trautman: I like that
• [11:08 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Yes, Probably it will bring up other Phrases.
• [11:08 SLT] Lexie Linden: ok
• [11:08 SLT] Neovo Geesink: I would like to see it indeed
• [11:09 SLT] Torben Trautman: especially when i don´t know what exactly I´m searching for
• [11:09 SLT] Lexie Linden: right
• [11:09 SLT] Torben Trautman: (which happens quite often)
• [11:09 SLT] Lexie Linden: Also I think the top questions asked (by keyword matches) would be god to see on the side, maybe weekly
• [11:09 SLT] Lexie Linden: good*
• [11:09 SLT] Lexie Linden: That will help everyone see the current hot topics
• [11:09 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Like a FAQ part?
• [11:10 SLT] Lexie Linden: Sort of like that yes
• [11:10 SLT] Lexie Linden: Those will include language categories
• [11:11 SLT] Torben Trautman: yay for the german category
• [11:11 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Moment... RL is calling...
• [11:12 SLT] Lexie Linden: Also, I think it might be good to have the ability to submit a question and response to the KB..by some type of "flag" on that thread
• [11:13 SLT] Lexie Linden: Something the doc team could check and decide if it needs to be added to official info
• [11:13 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: not me documentation
• [11:13 SLT] Kitty Beery: first take the KB out of the support section...... now we can't copy the url's.......
• [11:13 SLT] Torben Trautman: like instead of submitting a ticket?
• [11:14 SLT] Lexie Linden: Maybe Torben..maybe just an additional way to flag content
• [11:14 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Back again.
• [11:14 SLT] Lexie Linden: wb
• [11:14 SLT] Rails Bailey: the kb is the core of sl help
• [11:14 SLT] Lexie Linden: True Kitty
• [11:14 SLT] Lexie Linden: Yes Rails, it is the official source
• [11:15 SLT] Lexie Linden: This*
• [11:15 SLT] Lexie Linden: This is not a replacement
• [11:15 SLT] Lexie Linden: Its a way to gather information that you already give to new residents
• [11:16 SLT] Lexie Linden: Not all of what you help with is in KB
• [11:16 SLT] Neovo Geesink: I think that it is better that New residents has their own part as this Help Site, and that the more advanced ones can get the KB... Otherwise the new residents will litterally swamp in the KB...
• [11:16 SLT] Lexie Linden: I think Volunteer knowledge will always go beyond what the KB can offer
• [11:16 SLT] Jezzie McCellan: that is true, but we can submit a ticket to have things added to the kb
• [11:16 SLT] Jezzie McCellan: why not promote that among the Mentors instead
• [11:16 SLT] Lexie Linden: Yes you can Jezzie
• [11:16 SLT] Lexie Linden: Why does it need to be instead?
• [11:17 SLT] Kitty Beery: can't the new site be a FAQ part of the KB?
• [11:17 SLT] Kitty Beery: combine the two?
• [11:17 SLT] Rails Bailey: too many duplicates of info resources is confusing
• [11:17 SLT] Lexie Linden: Well, good question Kitty
• [11:18 SLT] Lexie Linden: KB is official resource so resident to resident answers would be unofficial and set apart unless that info is confirmed
• [11:18 SLT] Lexie Linden: Duplicating help is confusing?
• [11:18 SLT] Kitty Beery: make it a resident part of the KB than, so people understand that isn't the official part
• [11:18 SLT] Rails Bailey: then there is the issue of who will vet the correctness of the info in the new db
• [11:18 SLT] Gellan Glenelg: one concern: how is this going to be different from the "resident answers" section of the forum (apart from less spam, hopefully)?
• [11:18 SLT] Rails Bailey: basic tqm tenet
• [11:19 SLT] Jezzie McCellan: yes it is very confusing. One place for everyone to go for the correct info is the most helpful.
• [11:19 SLT] Jezzie McCellan: seems this ask/answer site repeats the KN and the Forum
• [11:19 SLT] Kitty Beery: not everybodycan access the forums gellan
• [11:19 SLT] Jezzie McCellan: open the forums up to everyone
• [11:20 SLT] Gellan Glenelg: so, will the forum section be closed?
• [11:20 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Ehhm, Afcourse Only SL names can enter... Otherwise everyone from RL will be Spamming the Forums....
• [11:20 SLT] Lexie Linden: I do not know that yet Gellan
• [11:20 SLT] Lexie Linden: Until it launches I cannot really find out
• [11:21 SLT] Gellan Glenelg: What I don't want for new residents is "If there's a mentor around, ayou can ask them, but if not you could try the forums, and if you search there and don't find an answer, try the new system, and if that doesn't help, you might want to look at the kb ...... etc"
• [11:22 SLT] Rails Bailey: and then ur rentention goes down the pan
• [11:22 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Yipe...
• [11:22 SLT] Lexie Linden: I see what you mean Gellan
• [11:23 SLT] Lexie Linden: I think there are alot of ways residents can help other residents. Some will prefer to help in text on the website..some wont like it and will do what they have been doing which is help inworld
• [11:23 SLT] Jezzie McCellan: I'm sorry I am being called to help a resident with some land issue. enjoy the day.
• [11:23 SLT] Rails Bailey: its a bit like ringing a org and going through five phone menu's to speak to a person who may or may not know what u are talking about
• [11:24 SLT] Torben Trautman: bye Jezzie
• [11:25 SLT] Lexie Linden: I dont think every Mentor has every answer, or every KB has every answer
• [11:25 SLT] Neovo Geesink: A Kiosk on the Main Hub of an HI, which points one to the right Help Pages, Accessible with the Inworld-Browser should be a good one.
• [11:25 SLT] Rails Bailey: which Is why I got to the source through a support ticket
• [11:26 SLT] Lexie Linden: I like that idea Neovo
• [11:26 SLT] Neovo Geesink: I sadly do not have build rights, Otherwise, I will volunteer to set them up at the HIs and the WAs.
• [11:27 SLT] Gellan Glenelg: agreed - there should be something OBVIOUS, at HIs that new resis can click on to get help when there's no mentor...
• [11:27 SLT] Rails Bailey: one should ask why there are no mentors there
• [11:27 SLT] Lexie Linden: I think the bottom line is that not everyone helps in the same way, nor does everyone learn in the same way. Its logical to offer assistance in more than one way to reach the most people who need it
• [11:28 SLT] Lexie Linden: Rails not all prefer to help on the HI
• [11:28 SLT] Lexie Linden: Some help on their own in many places that are not "official" locations. Thats ok and is very helpful too
• [11:28 SLT] Rails Bailey: and that boils down to having all hi'sopen and nrs spread
• [11:29 SLT] Gellan Glenelg: 1-2 mentors cannot help 200 residents, however many you cram onto a region
• [11:30 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Is there a way that IF one Mentor is at a HI, then it will "draw" new Residents in, like it was done on MDStyle? (Seeders)
• [11:31 SLT] Lexie Linden: So a Mentor is puts their tag on for an hour and that confirms what?
• [11:31 SLT] Rails Bailey: track them on HI's
• [11:31 SLT] Lexie Linden: We cannot require volunteers to help at the HI or one particular location
• [11:32 SLT] Lexie Linden: Its voluntary..not a job
• [11:32 SLT] Neovo Geesink: If that is possible, I think it will get a bit more grouping of Residents with Mentors.
• [11:32 SLT] Rails Bailey: cfa is on such org
• [11:32 SLT] Neovo Geesink: -?- I do miss you Rails...
• [11:32 SLT] Kitty Beery: so i should loose my tag?
• [11:33 SLT] Lexie Linden: HI is not the only place people need help
• [11:33 SLT] Gellan Glenelg: I really don't think it would help rails... those who currently help on HIs would continue to do so. Those who can't / don't want to commit 1 hour/day would leave... no difference
• [11:33 SLT] Lexie Linden: It is only one type location
• [11:33 SLT] Rails Bailey: but its where ur new residents come i
• [11:33 SLT] Lexie Linden: for now
• [11:33 SLT] Rails Bailey: in
• [11:33 SLT] Neovo Geesink: WAs and IHs are allso still there...
• [11:34 SLT] Rails Bailey: thoiugh am praqctically living on a gateway to help the greeters
• [11:34 SLT] Lexie Linden: As Blue has mentioned, those HI may change, the new user experience may change
• [11:34 SLT] Rails Bailey: personally lexie I see HI's going and gateways being the future
• [11:34 SLT] Lexie Linden: But the one thing we do know for sure is that there are residents new and older even who still seek help, and they are not on HI
• [11:35 SLT] Lexie Linden: Blue has said that the HI may go, correct Rails
• [11:35 SLT] Neovo Geesink: As the HI Concept is about to change, Is it possible that we do a Test (On a few if too complicated) if this system with an Obvious Help Kiosk works out?
• [11:35 SLT] Lexie Linden: Nothing has been confirmed as far as what the NUE might be
• [11:36 SLT] Lexie Linden: Actually Neovo, best person to ask that would be Blue : ))
• [11:36 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Reminds me... I still have a Tube in my Inv.
• [11:36 SLT] Lexie Linden: He would likely be the one who would know if any testing could happen
• [11:36 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Ok, I will do that.
• [11:36 SLT] Lexie Linden: ok : )
• [11:36 SLT] Rails Bailey: got half of waterhead in mine neovo
• [11:36 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Yipe...
• [11:37 SLT] Lexie Linden: Overall, how are you all feeling about volunteering right now? Have you changed what you normally do since we had the meeting talking about expanding the program?
• [11:38 SLT] Doctor Gascoigne: not at all
• [11:38 SLT] Kitty Beery: no, I still do what I always do
• [11:38 SLT] Gellan Glenelg: no
• [11:38 SLT] Rails Bailey: yep am writing a generic training program for gateway greeters
• [11:38 SLT] Torben Trautman: At the moment I´m rarely on HI´s or mentoring
• [11:38 SLT] Neovo Geesink: I feel good... And no, I did not change it... I am still hopping HIs now and then, and are allso regularly at Korea1.
• [11:38 SLT] Torben Trautman: but that´s because of rl and the translations we do :)
• [11:39 SLT] Lexie Linden: ok so most of you continue to do what you feel is best
• [11:39 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Indeed.
• [11:39 SLT] Lexie Linden: Thats good : )
• [11:39 SLT] Lexie Linden: : ))
• [11:39 SLT] Rails Bailey: from a personal standpoint lexie, mentors has to evolve, and I believe gateways is the evolution path
• [11:40 SLT] Lexie Linden: I have not been told yet Torben
• [11:40 SLT] Lexie Linden: lol
• [11:40 SLT] Torben Trautman: hehe
• [11:41 SLT] Rails Bailey: can I throw a spanner in the works
• [11:42 SLT] Lexie Linden: a spanner?
• [11:43 SLT] Rails Bailey: how would LL view gateways having approved content for a training program, so all gateways are on the same page and teaching the right things
• [11:43 SLT] Lexie Linden: (the only bad thing about these chairs is you cannot tell if anyone is typing)
• [11:43 SLT] Rails Bailey: spanner=shifter=obstruction
• [11:43 SLT] Lexie Linden: ahh ok
• [11:44 SLT] Lexie Linden: I cant speak for the Lindens in charge of CGs. Best thing would be to attend office hours for that and let them know what you are thinking. Maybe give them a sample of your plan
• [11:44 SLT] Lexie Linden: They may really like the idea
• [11:44 SLT] Rails Bailey: got a name lexie
• [11:44 SLT] Lexie Linden: Ill get you one
• [11:45 SLT] Lexie Linden: Will have it by end of day
• [11:45 SLT] Rails Bailey: great stuff
• [11:45 SLT] Rails Bailey: hyde park orientation have good greeters they just need some focus and tweaking
• [11:45 SLT] Lexie Linden: Likely I will reopen that
• [11:46 SLT] Lexie Linden: Maybe have some auto-group add based on the the Mentor group tag being worn when you apply
• [11:47 SLT] Lexie Linden: Do any of you know how to script that?
• [11:47 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Nope... :-(
• [11:47 SLT] Lexie Linden: I think I might be able to....maybe.....
• [11:47 SLT] Lexie Linden: lol
• [11:47 SLT] Kitty Beery: i can do a script that says 'hello avatar'...... lol
• [11:47 SLT] Lexie Linden: lol
• [11:47 SLT] Lexie Linden: me too!
• [11:48 SLT] Neovo Geesink: I can just C&P in existing Scripts to combine them...
• [11:48 SLT] Lexie Linden: good idea
• [11:48 SLT] Lexie Linden: How have the weekends been going in the Mentor channel?
• [11:48 SLT] Lexie Linden: I have heard some complaints
• [11:48 SLT] Kitty Beery: about what?
• [11:49 SLT] Lexie Linden: Worse than before? More talking in general
• [11:49 SLT] Gellan Glenelg: some people seems to think that guidleines don't apply when there are no lindens on :(
• [11:49 SLT] Kitty Beery: yes, but not only at the weekends
• [11:49 SLT] Rails Bailey: we still have chat police so I tend to turn if off
• [11:49 SLT] Lexie Linden: ok
• [11:49 SLT] Kitty Beery: i see a lot of chat lately in the mentor channel
• [11:49 SLT] Lexie Linden: I think all the Mentors have been in group awhile now. No one is "new"
• [11:49 SLT] Lexie Linden: So..
• [11:50 SLT] Lexie Linden: Likely the consequences may become stiffer
• [11:50 SLT] Lexie Linden: I will open the Q&A first tho
• [11:50 SLT] Rails Bailey: well there are enuff private mentor groups to chat in
• [11:50 SLT] Lexie Linden: Right Kitty, thats what I am thinking
• [11:50 SLT] Kitty Beery: there are rails, i have mentals and q&a and those work
• [11:51 SLT] Lexie Linden: I will try to send a reminder weekly
• [11:51 SLT] Rails Bailey: when they stop kitty i beat support with tickets
• [11:52 SLT] Rails Bailey: am sure they have a rails file that says open with care
• [11:52 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Nope.. I was off home most of the Weekend...
• [11:52 SLT] Lexie Linden: ok
• [11:53 SLT] Lexie Linden: What else has been going on with you all? Any interesting things : ))
• [11:53 SLT] Rails Bailey: just gateways
• [11:53 SLT] Lexie Linden: : ))
• [11:53 SLT] Lexie Linden: Valentines plans in SL?
• [11:53 SLT] Lexie Linden: : ))
• [11:54 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Well, I got a new pair of glasses, but I had to return them allready... The lenses were falling out of the Frame constantly...
• [11:54 SLT] Lexie Linden: yikes
• [11:54 SLT] Neovo Geesink: \I am back on my old one...
• [11:54 SLT] Lexie Linden: I dont know if there will be a monthly Mentor meeting for Feb
• [11:55 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Oh?
• [11:55 SLT] Lexie Linden: If there is no news..likely not
• [11:55 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Ok.
• [11:55 SLT] Kitty Beery: any idea when applications could open up again? I'm asked quite often about that.....
• [11:55 SLT] Lexie Linden: If we have news in March..maybe we wont wait til end of the month to have a meeting
• [11:55 SLT] Kitty Beery: lol
• [11:55 SLT] Kitty Beery: ok rails ;-)
• [11:55 SLT] Lexie Linden: I have not been told anything
• [11:56 SLT] Lexie Linden: I think the new software might offer some options on that too
• [11:56 SLT] Lexie Linden: Soon as its up and running I can check out more of the features and see
• [11:56 SLT] Kitty Beery: so that will take months still?
• [11:56 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Anyone who has used my receiver at the last Mentor Meeting who can tell me if it preformed adequately?
• [11:56 SLT] Lexie Linden: I sure hope not Kitty
• [11:56 SLT] Kitty Beery: i really need to get my alt in.... lol
• [11:57 SLT] Rails Bailey: cant vteam do manual invites
• [11:57 SLT] Lexie Linden: Directly to group you mean?
• [11:57 SLT] Rails Bailey: yep
• [11:57 SLT] Lexie Linden: Then we will have no records..
• [11:57 SLT] Lexie Linden: That would be bad
• [11:57 SLT] Neovo Geesink: In Groups so they can get an Orientatiojn Session?
• [11:57 SLT] Rails Bailey: but is has been done
• [11:58 SLT] Lexie Linden: In the past yes
• [11:58 SLT] Lexie Linden: We have the current database pretty well caught up
• [11:58 SLT] Rails Bailey: what if a mentor recommended an outstanding person
• [11:59 SLT] Lexie Linden: If we start adding people by hand..then those people will not have an entry in the group records
• [11:59 SLT] Rails Bailey: or a linde for that matter
• [11:59 SLT] Rails Bailey: slaps typist
• [11:59 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Reminds me on the Names in the Sidewalk...
• [11:59 SLT] Lexie Linden: I dont think we can add just certain people ..it wouldnt be fair
• [11:59 SLT] Lexie Linden: What about the sidewalk names?
• [11:59 SLT] Kitty Beery: so we don't get new v-team members either, they can't get into the mentor group, lol
• [11:59 SLT] Lexie Linden: lol
• [12:00 SLT] Neovo Geesink: It came to mind when it was mentionned to tell an outstanding Mentor... That was done in the past.
• [12:00 SLT] Lexie Linden: I dont know if we are going to continue to do the sidewalk names
• [12:01 SLT] Gellan Glenelg: I believe the feeling of some is that the stars give the messages "All mentors are equal - but here's a list of those who are MORE equal ..."
• [12:01 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Well, Deleting those names can be a good thing to Keep us equal.
• [12:01 SLT] Lexie Linden: I dont know if we should take away what was already done
• [12:01 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Ok.
• [12:02 SLT] Lexie Linden: I will talk to Mia on the sidewalk names though
• [12:02 SLT] Rails Bailey: stick it on a LL application
• [12:02 SLT] Lexie Linden: See what she thinks : ))
• [12:02 SLT] Lexie Linden: Next Tuesday I will not be here so I will move my office hour to another day
• [12:02 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Ok.
• [12:02 SLT] Lexie Linden: I will figure out which day and update profile and wiki too
• [12:03 SLT] Lexie Linden: Thanks for coming today : )
• [12:03 SLT] Kitty Beery: thank you too
• [12:03 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Is it OK to leave the copy of the Panel here, Or would you prefer it to be only in the Vteam Kiosk?
• [12:03 SLT] Gellan Glenelg: ty lexie
• [12:03 SLT] Lexie Linden: I appreciate your honest feedback!
• [12:03 SLT] Lexie Linden: Maybe just VTeam kiosk?
• [12:04 SLT] Neovo Geesink: Ok, then I will take this one back.
• [12:04 SLT] Lexie Linden: ok : ))
