Got a question for me?

Fire away. The wiki is supposed to notify me when someone changes my discussion page. Or just email me via the wiki.

My proposed help portal (especially for newbies)

Please see my page
https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User:Jaszon_Maynard/Proposed_Second_Life_Help_Portal
and my posts at

There are a substantial number of Help articles already[1], so it's just a matter of making the appropriate article in Help:Portal

Well it's then a matter of improving the quality of sufficient content, and finding others to create and update content.

A portal is just an article with content arranged in a certain way. Nothing special behind the scenes, just a bunch of normal wiki code.

I was just looking at it. Looks to me like something it might be called the Guide Portal or something, which could be seperate than the Help Portal... in which case a Help portal page could also be written. --JetZep Zabelin 20:14, 29 February 2008 (PST)

• --I was talking to Jon, Jeremy, & Rob Linden today. Sounds like the plan is, I can work up stuff, they're going to create an Advice portal in a month or 2 that will be for user-to-user advice & help, and all my stuff can be integrated into there.

--The consensus so far also was that separate namespaces are not desirable. More discussion about that here: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Project:Editing_Discussion#Creating_a_Help_portal

--So you were thinking Guide vs Help...I understand you say my stuff is "guide" oriented...what would you envision belongs in a Help portal? SL Help? On what topics? Or wiki help?

--Hey, on the Google calendar thing, do you have a wiki watch on all the Linden pages so you see when they change their hours and then know to update Google? Can the calendar be shared-out so several people can update it?
