Difference between revisions of "Community Gateway"

Revision as of 08:11, 25 January 2009

A Community Gateway (CG) is a starting point for new Residents of SL which is not obtained by Linden Lab, but by an established community in SL. These gateways often offer their own orientation path and try to give Residents an easy start. They might even provide an own RegAPI on their website (like Mainland Brasil or France3D).

Community Gateway Members

This list shows the current and new members of the Community Gateway program sorted by language. We will go live with the updated Community Gateway program in January 2009. The new members will then also be listed on the Community Gateway selection page in the registration process.
