A brief history

This wiki was started on January 8, 2007, as a means for Linden Lab to collaborate with the community in many ways. The first big initiative handled here is the viewer source code release. Since then, as shown on the main page, the wiki's grown from its technical-centric roots to encompass diverse realms of knowledge of interest to Second Life Residents.

Who's running this ship?

Several Lindens administer the wiki, and numerous others have contributed. Appropriate for this collaborative environment, there isn't a single Linden who has "ownership". But like video game bosses, each one of the following has a specific area they lord over and a special attack power, or something like that. Seriously, we have a sense of humor, and if it helps to know who we are in alphabetical order:

  • Jeremy Linden
  • Jon Linden
  • Rand Linden - Responsible for API and other developer-oriented documentation; originator of the Viewer 2.0 Help System.
  • Torley Linden - Torley-favicon.png - Community-facing stuff. Has written tons of help pages/documentation, established wiki policies and structure, continues to make connections and fill gaps. Eager to help you if you're curious about that, so get in touch.
  • Yoz Linden
