LSL Portal Guidelines
Revision as of 03:29, 30 April 2009 by Strife Onizuka (talk | contribs) (Removing the footnote because what it referenced has changed... but there hasn't been a discussion of changing these. The Mission is what we do, the Goal is what we aim for.)
LSL Portal | Functions | Events | Types | Operators | Constants | Flow Control | Script Library | Categorized Library | Tutorials |
This page is to define and describe the specific editing and posting Guidelines for the LSL Wiki Portal.
About The LSL Portal
Mission Statement
- "To provide accurate documentation for the scripting language of Second Life: LSL"
Goal Statement
- "To provide documentation to help scripters of all skill levels."
Guides
- LSL Editing Primer - Information about templates and syntax.
Style
Old Discussions
- LSL Category Style - Used for categorizing groups of LSL functions and other Tables of Contents.
- LSL Function Style - Used for the full specification of all LSL functions.
- LSL Topic Style - Used for topics of interest related to using LSL (XML-RPC, quaternions, etc).
- LSL Constants Style - Used for documenting constants.
Guidelines
- Pages specific to the running of the LSL portal or category pages should be prefixed with 'LSL '.
- All other existing pages documenting LSL with the LSL prefix are to be moved out of the LSL prefix unless other arrangements have been agreed upon.
- Questions should be posted on talk/discussion pages and signed (use
-- ~~~~
to sign comments). - Before posting a feature suggestion on the wiki check to see if it has been suggested on Jira first.
- When posting a script if it is a complete script, it should compile without error and be fully functional or marked otherwise. Code fragments should compile if properly installed into a script (no internal errors in the code fragments).
- Scripts that are posted should have a consistent style through out the script; whitespace consistency is important.
- Modern web browsers come with or have available spell checkers. All content should be spell checked before being posted.
