New page

Thanks for starting this, Eddy! I'm going to be revising and adding info to this shortly. --[[User:Torley Linden|Torley Linden]] 18:22, 3 April 2007 (PDT)

== Ideas for getting the word out about Office Hours? ==
First off, a precursor that I prefer using Talk/Discussion pages in reverse-chronological order (newest at the top), so that's why my question is here.

I just linked the [http://blog.secondlife.com/ Official Linden Blog]'s "Linden Village" stuff directly to the [[Office Hours]] page and am open to practical suggestions re: increasing awareness of Office Hours. In other words, where else should we (Linden Lab) be advertising them that we're not already? Any drop-dead easy places I should be advocating they be listed/linked to? Thanx. --[[User:Torley Linden|Torley Linden]] 16:55, 11 December 2007 (PST)

== reworking the Office Hours page to a table ==

At [[Open Source Meeting/2007-09-13|todays Open Source office hour]] it was mentioned, that this list here is only sorted by the hosts' names, not dates. If this page was reworked to a table (see [[SLDev_Resident_Names]] for an example) viewers of the page could easily sort by any column they'd like. Is this worth doing? It would require rewriting all the included bits, too, I guess, which might break their functionality when included at other places :-/

:You could rewrite the functionality without breaking their current operation by using variables :-P

::Could you give an example (or link to an existing one)?
::/me still has to learn a lot about MediaWiki.

:::Gimme a bit, I'll put together a demo

:::Only the base Office Hours template was altered, none of the Resident/Linden templates needed to be altered (with the exception of some Lindens who were using it wrong :-P)

::::wow :-D
::::[[User:Boroondas Gupte|Boroondas Gupte]] 11:29, 16 September 2007 (PDT)
:::::As a further example of the flexibility of the new modifications, compare [[SL5B#Office_Hours]] with [[SL5B/Office_Hours]].
:::::You'll note that [[SL5B/Office_Hours]] is included in the main [[SL5B]] article, but due to the rendering mode variable, different wiki code is used to present the office hours.

== Could you list the focus area of the Linden holding the talk, ie what do they do? ==

== Could more office hours be held in the afternoon/evening? ==

It's great that Lindens are having office hours, but most of these hours are during the day on weekdays while people are at work and such. Could we get more office hours that are in the afternoon and evening? This would work out better for most people who do want to talk to Lindens but also have day jobs.
