green dots on these islands. If one of the islands is empty, please grab a few fellow mentors and hang out there to entice the load balance system into sending residents to that island. Feel free to use the Mentor group chat channel to call for MDStyle volunteers :)
that's the magic number...lol. We would be very appreciative! Amber will let

*  October 9, 2007 -- I have been stopping by the MDStyle OI for the past couple weeks, however now I've observed the MDStyle OIs to begin with population.  Concentrating just on the inside experience mainly, I found it to be very linear which is a plus and imo needed.  Keeping a new resident focused on the task and not having to choose from paths will make them less overwhelmed and confused.  I do wonder if in future redesign of LL on OI, if the staging or activity areas such as Appearance, etc. should be larger.  I am seeing several residents grouped very close to the appearance sign and almost walking over eachother.  Since the new resident won't be able to compare their OI experience from LL to MD styles, further observation on how they grasp the basic activities will be needed.  [https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User:McPhenius_Swain McPhenius Swain]

MDStyle Orientation Island Testing

Some of you may be familiar with the MDStyle Orientation Islands, others may not be. These are 4 new orientation islands that Linden Lab is testing styled after the successful Meltingdots orientation island. Blackbriar and MDStyle Orientation are copy of former form of "Meltingdots" SIM. Meltingdots SIM is for Japanese newbie zone. There are four MDStyle OIs. The islands are MDStyle Orientation Island 1, MDStyle Orientation Island 2, MDStyle Orientation Island 3 and MDStyle Orientation Island 4. Just type the island name into the map to go there.

The way our Orientation islands are set up, we will need to 'seed' these four islands with people to pull new residents to them from the registration process and then we can begin to collect data on how new residents take to this form of orientation.

During your time in SL in the next few weeks please try and check the green dots on these islands. If one of the islands is empty, please grab a few fellow mentors and hang out there to entice the load balance system into sending residents to that island. Feel free to use the Mentor group chat channel to call for MDStyle volunteers :)


Mentors please keep this page updated See OIslanders_Test_Team and Voice_Test_Team for example of past efforts.
