User:Jaszon Maynard/Proposed Second Life Help Portal

Here's a quick sketch of what could be in the top level of a Second Life Help portal:
(I know nothing about the Teen Grid...if there are any changes that should be made to acccomodate that, please tell me)

It would be great if there were a slap-you-in-the-face signboard in the middle of New User Orientation Island, Public OI, and Public Help Island that displayed the URL to a wiki Help portal and also dispensed you a Notecard with the URL in it. Could it also be...in Help menu? A Notecard already in your Inventory (& not your inventory Library, newbies won't find it there)?

Nearly all of these links are dummy links, put in just for quick illustration purposes.

However, the first link, for new users, does lead to a proposed page I'm working on.

When possible the wiki help should mention applicable in-world tutorials along with a SLURL to the relevant place (like Public Orientation Island or Public Help Island). Since the SLURL won't bring you right to the tutorial, & the islands can be crowded, confusing, laggy, & crashy, describe major landmarks near the applicable tutorial so the resident can find it.
