In Germany they have their own portal for [http://de.secondlife.com/ Secondlife]. Work is in progress to have four sims online where german speaking residents can enter Second Life. Therefore they will not enter SL on the regular OI's. One or more of the four sims have to be Orientation Islands or Welcome Area's style places. This project page will keep everyone involved updated about the progress and future planning.

Discussion is going on 'how to create an OI' that will keep residents online, depending on their different interests. It is wellknown, the retentionrate of new residents in SL is rather low (about 12%). In the past Linden Lab has done several experiments already with different kinds of entry in SL (see remarks for a list of previous projects). Most of these projects gave Linden Lab metrics or at least an idea of what works and what doesn't work.
