On March 2d, 2011, Linden Lab opened its new Community Platform for forums, blogs, and the Second Life Knowledge Base. We are migrating most of the articles in the KB to the new platform. Very technical articles, and those that contain official policy, product, or pricing information will remain on the wiki, the latter in the "Linden Lab Official" namespace.
Article survey
Before migrating articles from the wiki, we are reviewing them to ensure we don't waste time on articles that are completely out of date. We will either delete or archive old outdated content. Some articles may be generally accurate, but just need updating for Viewer 2; we will move these and update them in the Lithium system.
Broadly, there are two sets of articles to review:
- Linden Lab Official articles that may contain official policy, product, and pricing info. Many of these articles do not contain such information and thus are candidates for migration; many others are obsolete.
- Knowledge Base articles.
Migration batches
We are doing the migration in batches. The first batch consisted of 83 articles in English, plus a number of translated articles in German, French, Spanish, and Portuguese, for a total of 212 articles. See Category:Knowledge_Base_2 for a complete list.
Second batch
Tentatively propose to migrate the second batch the week of Mar. 20.
Third batch
TBD.
