User Experience Interest Group

The User Experience Interest Group (UXIG) is a group of Residents and Lindens interested in the Second Life user experience, including topics such as the SL viewer's user interface, issues faced by new Residents, and general user satisfaction, among others. UXIG was formed on October 27 after the Resident Experience Lindens announced that their weekly office hours / discussions would be reduced to once per month. UXIG continues those weekly meetings, but in an unofficial, Resident-organized capacity.

UXIG meets every Thursday from 3-4 PM SLT at Benjamin Linden's office in Second Life. Anyone and everyone is welcome to attend the meetings. Lindens from the Resident Experience team are scheduled to attend on the first Thursday of every month, and are also encouraged to attend for discussions related to their area of work or interest.

Weekly topics are selected from the topics list. If you have a topic request or suggestion, please add it to that list. If there is no specific topic for the week, we will have open discussion about user experience issues.

Many UXIG members also discuss user experience issues in the SL-UX mailing list. The topic for the in-world meeting is announced there each week. Several Lindens from the Resident Experience team also participate in that list and can answer questions about SL user experience.

The Resident organizer for UXIG is Jacek Antonelli, and the Linden contact is Grant Linden. Questions and comments about UXIG should be directed to one of them, or to the SL-UX mailing list.
