[12:58] | Peewee Musytari | \o/ "YAYYYY!!!" |
[12:58] | Peewee Musytari | || |
[12:58] | Peewee Musytari | _/\_ |
[12:58] | Jeremy Linden | Jeremy Linden waves |
[12:58] | Arawn Graalrd | Is Burning Life still in biz? |
[12:58] | Peewee Musytari | its a Jeremy :)) |
[12:58] | Marianne McCann | Hey Jeremy |
[12:58] | Peewee Musytari | woots |
[12:58] | Arawn Graalrd | WE have Jeremy? |
[12:58] | Thriller Dancer | Say 'on' or 'off'to turn me on or off, or 'help' for more commands |
[12:58] | Adamburp Adamczyk | hey jeremy |
[12:59] | Marianne McCann | Atawn - there has not been a "Burning Life" since 2009. |
[12:59] | Peewee Musytari | and a flappy ruthed torben hehe |
[12:59] | Marianne McCann | There is, however, Burn2, and it is ongoing |
[12:59] | Torben | yay |
[12:59] | Marianne McCann | Arawn, I mean, sorry |
[12:59] | Torben | ellows |
[12:59] | Jeremy Linden | Hey everyone. Still no Lexie this week. Rand should be here, though. |
[13:00] | Peewee Musytari | whats lexie up to?..she siad she`d be gone till end of sept |
[13:00] | Peewee Musytari | running in that hamster wheel? |
[13:00] | Jeremy Linden | I'm afraid I can't really talk about what Lindens are doing outside work. |
[13:00] | Adamburp Adamczyk | we understand |
[13:00] | Peewee Musytari | ahh so she isn`t on another sl job is what I meant |
[13:01] | Arawn Graalrd | We'll simply mug your alt |
[13:01] | Adamburp Adamczyk | but lexie has a lot of respect here - and we're just concerned |
[13:01] | Torben | nah, she´s looking for another rl job |
[13:01] | Marianne McCann | Ah... so she must be running for President |
[13:01] | Peewee Musytari | eeps |
[13:01] | Jeremy Linden | Vote for Lexie! |
[13:01] | Torben | just kidding I hope |
[13:02] | Arawn Graalrd | It's a nervous time, to run for Pres; if Obama embraces Reaganomics, he'd win easy; it's all his decision. |
[13:02] | Peewee Musytari | ur sposed to say she is in long and detailed meetings with lithium on how to fix Answers :P |
[13:02] | Torben | Adam complained one time too often about LL support so Lexie needed extended vacations |
[13:02] | Marianne McCann | Yes, but Lexie promises a prim in every pot! |
[13:02] | Adamburp Adamczyk | oh, my crusade is finished |
[13:02] | Adamburp Adamczyk | rod answered my im |
[13:02] | Adamburp Adamczyk | not entorely happy with what he said |
[13:02] | Torben | just teasing Adam :) |
[13:03] | Adamburp Adamczyk | lol |
[13:03] | Adamburp Adamczyk | but i have to accept it |
[13:03] | Marianne McCann | So what's the buzz, Jeremy? |
[13:03] | Torben | I stepped on Lexie´s toe so now she´s recovering |
[13:03] | Peewee Musytari | rod is busy fixing group chat lag apparently lol |
[13:03] | Torben | nough rumours for today |
[13:03] | Jeremy Linden | We don't seem to have much of an agenda today, but I can give a few updates on what I've been working on. |
[13:04] | Jeremy Linden | I'm still documenting new and evolving mesh features, not the least of which will be a new term: "land impact" |
[13:04] | Peewee Musytari | ooh |
[13:04] | Marianne McCann | Marianne McCann shifts nervously |
[13:04] | Peewee Musytari | when they fall down? |
[13:05] | Arawn Graalrd | When they multiply the prim equivalency |
[13:05] | Jeremy Linden | Land impact is the same number as "number of objects on parcel" now, but it's meant to encompass the impact that mesh objects have, too. Meshes often obviosuly count as more than one "prim", so we wanted to be able to make a clear distinction. |
[13:06] | Jeremy Linden | Now, "number of prims" will solely mean "number of distinct parts" and will not be related to land limits. |
[13:06] | Arawn Graalrd | Isn't PE still in flux? |
[13:06] | Liisa Runo | i like the word "impact" there, reminds me of a missile crater or something, very fitting |
[13:06] | Marianne McCann | Off-hand, does that only account for mesh PE, or would we see other items - >10m prims, sculpts, etc. given more "weight?" Do we know? |
[13:06] | Jeremy Linden | Arawn, land impact is actually the new term for "PE". We found that people were confused by the term "prim equivalent", since it still contained the word "prim". |
[13:06] | Arawn Graalrd | AFAIK, Megaprims will still be prims, until you add a mesh bow tie |
[13:07] | Marianne McCann | But without a mesh bow tie, none of my >10m prims could go to a formal |
[13:07] | Jeremy Linden | Arawn, I think that's true. Unless you link a normal prim to a mesh, or change its physics type, it still counts as just 1. |
[13:07] | Arawn Graalrd | So, the edit window will list both prims and impact? |
[13:07] | Jeremy Linden | Yep! |
[13:08] | Arawn Graalrd | Will even physics time count, until you add the bow tie? |
[13:08] | Jeremy Linden | We'll be changing parcel terminology to match. It'll be called "land capacity". |
[13:08] | Peewee Musytari | people do tend to think in prims, I`m susprised that land impact is less confusing than prim equivalant |
[13:08] | Liisa Runo | im suprised too |
[13:09] | Peewee Musytari | won`t they still say..so how many prims is that? |
[13:09] | Jeremy Linden | Peewee, people think in terms of prims because that's what they're used to. I'm not the one who made the decision to use the new terms, but it makes sense to me in a world where prims are no longer the only unit of value. |
[13:10] | Arawn Graalrd | Will Parcel Limits be set by Prims or Impact? |
[13:10] | Jeremy Linden | Sure, Peewee. We'll still show the number of prims in an object, but prims alone will no longer be the limiting factor when you're trying to fill up your land :-) |
[13:10] | Jeremy Linden | Arawn - they'll be set by "land capacity", which is paired with land impact. |
[13:10] | Marianne McCann | Marianne McCann ponders the term "Bow Tie Impact" |
[13:11] | Jeremy Linden | So, a 512m parcel would have a land capacity of... is it 117? The same as it would be in prims now. |
[13:11] | Arawn Graalrd | Bow Tie is just the little bit of Mesh, that turns a few simple prims into hundreds. |
[13:11] | Peewee Musytari | well a sim has 15K prims, so people logically keep track of that...is it now going to have 15K prims or 15K prims and/or impacts? |
[13:11] | Marianne McCann | 117, yes |
[13:12] | Jeremy Linden | Just impact, Peewee. |
[13:12] | Peewee Musytari | no prims at all? |
[13:12] | Peewee Musytari | Aah! |
[13:12] | Jeremy Linden | Well, no prim will have a land impact lower than 1. |
[13:12] | Liisa Runo | dont worry people, it is just new word for PE, nothing really changes |
[13:13] | Jeremy Linden | Yes, that's correct Liisa. |
[13:13] | Marianne McCann | Hey Rand |
[13:13] | Peewee Musytari | so what does that mean in relation to attachments that have no land impact?...are they still prims? |
[13:13] | Torben | hi Rand |
[13:13] | Peewee Musytari | hey hey rand |
[13:13] | Rand Linden | Howdy! SOrry Im late |
[13:13] | Jeremy Linden | It's just meant to make a clearer distinction between "prim" as a distinct part and "prim equivalent" as a land resource |
[13:13] | Arawn Graalrd | Arawn Graalrd prefers the term Tardy, as Late is a technical term |
[13:14] | Marianne McCann | Marianne McCann swears she just saw Rand in a suit and tie, but dismisses it as a fever dream |
[13:14] | Adamburp Adamczyk | Adamburp Adamczyk waves "happy birthday rand" |
[13:14] | Rand Linden | haha |
[13:14] | Peewee Musytari | ooh is ur b`day? |
[13:14] | Rand Linden | yes i had on a diff outfit and avie... |
[13:14] | Peewee Musytari | happy burfday rand |
[13:14] | Jeremy Linden | He had skin tone! |
[13:14] | Marianne McCann | He did! |
[13:15] | Peewee Musytari | is ur wiki page done jeremy?....methinks I need to read that |
[13:15] | Jeremy Linden | Peewee, I've only just started making updates to the terminology in the wiki. This is a very recent change. |
[13:15] | Arawn Graalrd | This morning? |
[13:15] | Jeremy Linden | The first doc to use it is this one: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Mesh/FAQ_for_mesh_content_creators |
[13:16] | Peewee Musytari | we will have colliding impacts hehe |
[13:17] | Jeremy Linden | So Rand, would you like to share any updates? |
[13:17] | Arawn Graalrd | Arawn Graalrd wonders if a sim could be overworked, by toggling a single prim mesh, in a really big object |
[13:17] | Rand Linden | i don't have much ..... |
[13:17] | Rand Linden | I can share the new Quickstart I've been working on... |
[13:18] | Marianne McCann | Please |
[13:18] | Rand Linden | http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Second-Life-Quickstart/ta-p/1087919 |
[13:18] | Rand Linden | It's focused on basic mode |
[13:18] | Rand Linden | And I intend to create a "transition guide" to help people moving from basic to advanced mode |
[13:19] | Rand Linden | Oh, on a side note, we also added http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Keyboard-shortcuts/ta-p/1086557 |
[13:19] | Adamburp Adamczyk | rand, jeremy, could you look at updating pages ref useage of no entry lines |
[13:19] | Rand Linden | Adamburp - i don't understand what you mean |
[13:19] | Rand Linden | "...pages ref useage of no entry lines" |
[13:19] | Rand Linden | ?? |
[13:19] | Adamburp Adamczyk | okay |
[13:19] | Rand Linden | you mean ban lines? |
[13:20] | Jeremy Linden | Perhaps, "pages that refer to lines that say "no entry" |
[13:20] | Adamburp Adamczyk | thre sued to be a page on the wiki about using no entry lines for your own land |
[13:20] | Adamburp Adamczyk | used* |
[13:20] | Marianne McCann | I don't know if its possible, but it might be worth somehow mentioning in #2 that usernames can not changable, and may also be visible in some transactions. |
[13:20] | Arawn Graalrd | Oh, no-entry lines could be ass-hole lines, only 50 meters high |
[13:20] | Adamburp Adamczyk | eg "group only" entry etc |
[13:20] | Rand Linden | Good point, thx Marianne! |
[13:20] | Marianne McCann | (on the quickstart) |
[13:20] | Marianne McCann | Welcome. It's a pretty common user question/issue |
[13:21] | Jeremy Linden | Adam, I think you want this: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Managing-land/ta-p/700113#Section_.6 |
[13:21] | Rand Linden | ...Other comments welcome! |
[13:21] | Marianne McCann | 2. Account type. Something that let's people know they can choose to upgrade later if they don't right then? |
[13:21] | Marianne McCann | Marianne McCann sharpens her red pencil |
[13:21] | Adamburp Adamczyk | no jeremy |
[13:21] | Adamburp Adamczyk | Adamburp Adamczyk bumbles thinking |
[13:22] | Peewee Musytari | rand could you incorporate https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/WEB-4066? into your quickstart text even if whoevers job it is to change registration doesn`t get round to it for another 6 months? |
[13:22] | Adamburp Adamczyk | there *was* an article about using security orbs, required times to leav etc |
[13:22] | Lyrical Popstar | hey :D |
[13:22] | Adamburp Adamczyk | linked to no entry lines |
[13:22] | Rand Linden | OK peewee, good suggestion |
[13:22] | Peewee Musytari | if you can get it done on registration that would be a huge plus too lol |
[13:23] | ъսъъlε ъlօաεг | hi ^^ |
[13:23] | Erinyse Planer | hi. sorry im late |
[13:23] | Peewee Musytari | ty rand |
[13:23] | Jeremy Linden | I don't believe Resident-created security orbs can interact with "official" ban lines. If there was a page about scripted security objects, it may have been contributed by a Resident. |
[13:23] | Lyrical Popstar | is there a description of what exactly this meeting is for? i have some things i wanted to bring up but want to make sure this is the appropriate meeting :P |
[13:23] | Rand Linden | Peewee, I don't have much luck getting MY jiras fixed, either!! |
[13:23] | Adamburp Adamczyk | okay |
[13:23] | Peewee Musytari | lol |
[13:24] | Adamburp Adamczyk | i juist asked as to get some clarification |
[13:24] | Erinyse Planer | rand that depends on what you mean by interact |
[13:24] | Jeremy Linden | Lyrical: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Community_Tools_User_Group |
[13:24] | Arawn Graalrd | User Tools, basically documentation, a nd just about anything should be documented. |
[13:24] | Erinyse Planer | err jermey i mean |
[13:24] | Erinyse Planer | sorry rand |
[13:24] | Rand Linden | This meeting is in theory for anything related to The Second Life Wiki |
[13:24] | Jeremy Linden | We're missing Lexie today, though. She knows more about the forums, blogs, and Answers than I do. |
[13:25] | Lyrical Popstar | oh ok. my question was mainly concerning the jira |
[13:25] | Rand Linden | Yes, Jeremy and I focus on docs, so we don't have much to say about forums, blogs, etc....but we can pass on comments...until Lexie returns |
[13:25] | Erinyse Planer | Erinyse Planer had a question about forum enforcement and misuse of the post reporting if i am allowed to ask here? |
[13:25] | Arawn Graalrd | Ask first, then wonder if it's permitted. |
[13:26] | Marianne McCann | (Quickstart) Might want to consider adding a line in "Making friends," noting that some people prefer to know you better first, or whatever." (I get so hit by noobs offering friendship without even saying a word to me...) |
[13:26] | Lyrical Popstar | lol |
[13:26] | Peewee Musytari | worst that can happen is u get an answer in 2 weeks |
[13:26] | Jeremy Linden | Erinyse, this is the right place, but unfortunately Lexie would be the one with the best answer. |
[13:26] | Peewee Musytari | is the right place |
[13:26] | Erinyse Planer | can you pass my question along then with a request for an official response please? |
[13:27] | Arawn Graalrd | Would Forums be a WEB Issue? |
[13:27] | Lyrical Popstar | My question is with the jira. Once a jira is posted, how much are suggestions and such considered, and how do we know if/when the suggestions/requests will be considered? |
[13:27] | Rand Linden | Sure, Erinyse... can you be more specific? |
[13:27] | ъսъъlε ъlօաεг | ? |
[13:27] | ъսъъlε ъlօաεг | ups sorry |
[13:27] | Rand Linden | Lyrical: I think it depends on the issue involved |
[13:28] | Rand Linden | I can tell you that security issues do get reviewed immediately |
[13:28] | Rand Linden | If it's a real bug, then it will likely get triaged somewhere... |
[13:28] | Lyrical Popstar | well i'm asking with this particular jira... https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-7125 |
[13:28] | Rand Linden | If it's a feature request/enhancement, then it may take longer |
[13:28] | Peewee Musytari | if its a bug then u usually see people at least attempting to troubleshoot/fix it.....if its a suggestion, it may as well be in invisible ink for the most part lol |
[13:29] | Erinyse Planer | I would simply like to know if LL officially supports the use of reporting parties to report forum posts that simply discuss legitimate issues within SL or request for the end of private "security groups." Certain groups have put out calls in group chat, and notices, and in thier wiki for the reporting f any post to the forum that discusses or criticizes or requests restrictions upon any sort of security force |
[13:29] | Lyrical Popstar | there's a big community of people really trying to work on this issue heard, and we're all wondering if it's even being considered at this point, and don't know where to get feedback |
[13:29] | Erinyse Planer | and if that is NOT supported by LL if theres a way that those groups can be curtailed from abusing the report post features |
[13:29] | Marianne McCann | Ahh.... I know what you're talking about |
[13:30] | Peewee Musytari | there is one for bringing back last names that has about 1500 votes and bazillions of comments and I think its in a LL blind spot hehe |
[13:30] | Lyrical Popstar | yeah that's the one i'm talking about |
[13:30] | Arawn Graalrd | What's SVC-7125 about? |
[13:30] | Lyrical Popstar | it's been a really popular topic on many blogs, social networking sites, etc. for a while now and with no feedback from LL yet. |
[13:30] | ъսъъlε ъlօաεг | what s svc-7125? |
[13:30] | Adamburp Adamczyk | *:-.,_,.-:*'``'*☆ DICKLEY ☆*'``'*:-.,_,.-:* |
[13:30] | Jeremy Linden | Arawn, you can view it at https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-7125 |
[13:31] | Erinyse Planer | i cant. jira wont let me log in to view it |
[13:31] | Jeremy Linden | It's a feature request called "Bring Back Last Name Options!" |
[13:31] | Rand Linden | Lyrical: you might have more luck in the server UG meeting. |
[13:31] | Torben | Fritz Linden set the status to "In Review" |
[13:31] | Jeremy Linden | Your jira login should be the same as your SL login. |
[13:31] | Rand Linden | In general, feature requests will take a long time to get addressed, since we already have a backlog of features to implement |
[13:31] | Torben | so it seems it has been looked at at least and might be considered |
[13:31] | Marianne McCann | If anything on the last name issue, it might be nice to have two possible name option spaces (firstname.lastname) that a new user could fill in. not sure what thet would do when it comes to legacy last names, but ya.. .seems more server endish |
[13:31] | Rand Linden | Thx Torben... there you go. |
[13:31] | Erinyse Planer | jeremy a certain linden locked me out because i told one of her freinds to stop bothering me on it |
[13:32] | Torben | Lindens don´t have friends ;) |
[13:32] | Erinyse Planer | any attempt to log into jira sends me back to the login page |
[13:32] | Lyrical Popstar | we want last names back sooooo bad. lol |
[13:32] | Lyrical Popstar | Lyrical Popstar gets on her knees and begs :P |
[13:32] | Adamburp Adamczyk | i agreee |
[13:33] | Arawn Graalrd | We can stick underscores on our first names, but noobs will still not know their ways about. |
[13:33] | Erinyse Planer | I would like to see last names back too |
[13:33] | Peewee Musytari | it would be kinda amusing if they did bring them back....there would forever be this massive "Resident" family group covering a year or so in sl history hehe |
[13:33] | Erinyse Planer | one of my most common things new users ask me is how to get a last name |
[13:33] | Lyrical Popstar | it's almost like a class issue too... not intended i'm sure. but people who don't have last names are almost like second-class citizens :P it's silly, but it's how a lot of them are treated |
[13:34] | Lyrical Popstar | display names are great. i love that feature. |
[13:34] | Peewee Musytari | yeah they would have been a great addition to the old system |
[13:34] | Marianne McCann | I could see that Erinyse. They see the older names and want that |
[13:35] | Lyrical Popstar | yeah |
[13:35] | Erinyse Planer | For a while i sent them through various registration apis that still assigned last names... but those are harder to find now |
[13:35] | Liisa Runo | ... and we are running out of sane first names already, i have already seen names like "OMFGwhyAllNamesAreTaken34873992 Resident" |
[13:35] | Lyrical Popstar | would it help if i sell my SL kidney in exchange for last names? :P |
[13:35] | Torben | I believe https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Server_Beta_User_Group might be a great user group to discuss this topic |
[13:35] | Arawn Graalrd | Arawn Graalrd settled on the surname of Spitteler, as best of awful; it makes him look like a celibate nazi, but didn't know how constrictive names could be; it's a way of recognizing seniority. |
[13:35] | Erinyse Planer | server group says its not their call |
[13:35] | Jeremy Linden | Unfortunately, it's not really an issue we can address here. As technical writers, Rand and I are placed in a later role in development. We are best at discussing features that are currently in use. :-) |
[13:35] | Torben | Torben loves Lyricals passion |
[13:36] | Lyrical Popstar | lol |
[13:36] | Lyrical Popstar | i'll keep an eye out for the group Rand mentioned |
[13:36] | Arawn Graalrd | So, how do we document the injustice of the REsident Surname? |
[13:37] | Peewee Musytari | do u know if bring back 2 names is ever discussed by LL?....or would u not even be allowed to say that |
[13:37] | Liisa Runo | The server geeks dont care about issues like this. So once again im requesting for UG meeting with "Secondlife service" theme. |
[13:37] | Rand Linden | I don't know if it's been discussed or not. |
[13:37] | Marianne McCann | Who would be the better person to hit on that for? Andrew and Simon's UG? |
[13:37] | Erinyse Planer | I can tell you from expereince server group and server beta group will not discuss that issue |
[13:37] | Rand Linden | What about allowing spaces in names? Would that address teh problem to some extent? |
[13:38] | Peewee Musytari | if the login could handle it |
[13:38] | Rand Linden | Marianne - probably that UG, yes, though they may not have any insight either. |
[13:38] | Lyrical Popstar | no. we really want last names. it's one of the most widely talked about complaints in SL |
[13:38] | Marianne McCann | Agreed, Rand. Hmm. |
[13:38] | Liisa Runo | Andrew and Simon and Oskar will just sigh when we bring topics like last names to them. |
[13:38] | Peewee Musytari | how would it know its not a legacy name? |
[13:38] | Erinyse Planer | rand... that group will not discuss it |
[13:38] | Rand Linden | Right, peewee... there is probably some good reason why spaces are not allowed |
[13:38] | Erinyse Planer | they sent us here back months ago |
[13:38] | Marianne McCann | Ooh, ya, and one doesn't want the Andrew sigh. I know if from asking physics questions back in '08 |
[13:38] | Marianne McCann | Marianne McCann winks |
[13:39] | Rand Linden | It's not something we can address. |
[13:39] | Lyrical Popstar | or are we talking about something different and i'm just one-track minded? :P |
[13:39] | Torben | spaces would confuse LSL even more than now also |
[13:39] | Arawn Graalrd | So, where is it documented, which UG to lobby? |
[13:39] | Rand Linden | You might try one of Viale's UG's... e.g. https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/My.secondlife.com_User_Group |
[13:39] | Rand Linden | https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User_Groups describes all the UGs |
[13:39] | Rand Linden | In reality, there might not be a UG for each and every type of issue |
[13:40] | Adamburp Adamczyk | funny rand :) |
[13:40] | Peewee Musytari | it would be nice if whoever`s group it is would at least acknowledge that huge JIRA....its kinda rude ignoring so many people totally even if there is no solution |
[13:40] | Adamburp Adamczyk | i emailed rod about he frequency of YG |
[13:40] | Erinyse Planer | I wish we had a just plain user experience usergroup to capute all the crap that cant be covered in any other group |
[13:40] | Lyrical Popstar | oh wait. spaces would be cool actually |
[13:40] | Adamburp Adamczyk | and about wht does not get covered |
[13:40] | Peewee Musytari | even underscores would be a good compromise |
[13:41] | Arawn Graalrd | We haven't underscores? |
[13:41] | Peewee Musytari | not in usernames no |
[13:41] | Rand Linden | Usernames are alphanumeric only |
[13:41] | Arawn Graalrd | We should have a user group, for uncovered subjects. |
[13:41] | Peewee Musytari | best you can do is JohnDoe for 2 names |
[13:41] | Lyrical Popstar | Lyrical Popstar votes for spaces :D |
[13:42] | Torben | talking about technical writing: it would be a huge step forward if new residents would know that the weird username they make up will be seen inworld for the rest of their life |
[13:42] | Erinyse Planer | yes it would |
[13:42] | Lyrical Popstar | hehe yeah |
[13:42] | Rand Linden | Yes, Torben, I'll be sure to add that to the Quickstart Guide |
[13:42] | Peewee Musytari | yeah thats what https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/WEB-4066? is for...a bandaid to the bigger problem |
[13:42] | Lyrical Popstar | most of the usernames now are like Lyrical2q094utq8t |
[13:43] | Erinyse Planer | meh ive seen worse then that even |
[13:43] | Marianne McCann | Lyrical - was one I saw down at Moose Beach recently, was "AllTheGoodNamesAreTaken Resident" or some such |
[13:43] | Torben | I have a hard time talking to people when I can´t type their name^^ |
[13:43] | Erinyse Planer | its gotteh to the point people are jsut using random charactor strings |
[13:43] | Lyrical Popstar | oh i wish i had thought of that one :P |
[13:43] | Peewee Musytari | be glad you are not a DJ welcoming people lol |
[13:43] | Torben | hahaha |
[13:43] | Peewee Musytari | on voice |
[13:43] | Peewee Musytari | lol |
[13:44] | Torben | you would just hear me giggle and call them "blue pants guy with the weird name" |
[13:44] | Lyrical Popstar | lol |
[13:44] | Arawn Graalrd | Abbreviate their names to something pronounceable, to welcomke them. |
[13:44] | Peewee Musytari | lol |
[13:44] | Erinyse Planer | okay i have another question about the wiki |
[13:45] | Erinyse Planer | how the heck do we ar a wiki entry that links to sites that gives real life info about second life residents? |
[13:45] | Jeremy Linden | The original intent of usernames vs display names was supposed to be like using an email address vs. your actual name in someone's in box. "johnboy56@email.com" (like a username) might show up in your inbox as "John W. Smith" (like a display name). It does seem like it didn't quite work out like that in SL. |
[13:45] | Peewee Musytari | quickstart guide is great rand btw :)....will be a useful place to send people |
[13:45] | Erinyse Planer | Erinyse Planer refrains from saying we told you so >> |
[13:45] | Erinyse Planer | oh opps |
[13:45] | Rand Linden | Erinyse - there's not really an AR process for wiki pages, however you can IM me and I will review the page |
[13:45] | Lyrical Popstar | yeah. in-world though, it does take a lot away from the feeling of community and identity |
[13:45] | Jeremy Linden | I didn't invent the feature. I just need to explain it ;-) |
[13:46] | Marianne McCann | Agreed, Jeremy. Not a bad idea in a lot of ways, but many "unintended consequences." |
[13:46] | Lyrical Popstar | hehe :D |
[13:46] | Rand Linden | If you can determine that a person divulged RL info about another user, then THAT can be AR'ed. |
[13:46] | Erinyse Planer | theres not an ar for reporting stuff on the wiki. |
[13:46] | Adamburp Adamczyk | erinyse do you mean jlu? |
[13:46] | Lyrical Popstar | Lyrical Popstar offers her left arm too. i don't need it :P |
[13:46] | Erinyse Planer | thats one of many examples |
[13:47] | Rand Linden | No, Erinyse, there is no AR category for wiki |
[13:47] | Erinyse Planer | which is the problem rand |
[13:47] | Peewee Musytari | the other fail on display names was that they would have been great for RP ...which was an intended use I believe...but then you can only change them once a week |
[13:47] | Torben | I believe you can also undo the edit that revealed the information or blank the page |
[13:47] | Rand Linden | If youfind something offensive on teh wiki, you can also just edit the page to remove the offensive info. |
[13:47] | Erinyse Planer | file it under disclosure governance wont look at it cuase it deals with wiki, and say file a ticket. |
[13:47] | Rand Linden | right, Torben! |
[13:47] | Torben | :) |
[13:47] | Erinyse Planer | file a ticket they say flike an ar |
[13:47] | Erinyse Planer | and yes torben then they revise it right back |
[13:48] | Torben | Erin, then you ping Rand and he comes to beat em up |
[13:48] | Jeremy Linden | Rand, didn't we discuss a wiki editing policy that covers "edit wars"? |
[13:48] | Marianne McCann | What Torben said |
[13:48] | Erinyse Planer | all attempts to remove the kryptonradio website from the wiki were undone and met with threats of ars |
[13:48] | Time Minder | You have been online for 1 hours. |
[13:48] | Rand Linden | Jeremy - we did at one point... but I don't think it ever was made "official" ....as best I recall |
[13:49] | Jeremy Linden | https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Project:Editing_Guidelines |
[13:49] | Torben | can you post a link? |
[13:49] | Erinyse Planer | and that site routinely pairs SL resident names with real life names |
[13:49] | Lyrical Popstar | what? there's a site that does that? :/ |
[13:49] | Rand Linden | Erinsye - send me URL of the offendinng page |
[13:49] | Marianne McCann | Erinyse - I think the question of that group will end up having to fall under a larger policy move on all of the "law enforcement" type groups (this is somewhat off topic for wiki/KB, but still) |
[13:49] | Erinyse Planer | the wiki page or the page it points to or both? |
[13:49] | Harlow Heslop | Harlow Heslop sneaks into the meeting |
[13:49] | Arawn Graalrd | Would they even know my non-secret identity? |
[13:49] | Rand Linden | the wiki page... that I can do something about... |
[13:50] | Rand Linden | the 3rd party site, we have no control over |
[13:50] | Lyrical Popstar | and unfortunately, something off of the LL websites... not much you can do :/ |
[13:50] | Lyrical Popstar | that's a shame that people are doing that |
[13:50] | Marianne McCann | Sneaky, sneaky, Harlow |
[13:50] | Rand Linden | I don't think LL can prevent a 3rd party site from divulging such info...it is against SL TOS, but we can't enforce that outside of SL! |
[13:50] | Lyrical Popstar | harlow, you're steppingo n my leg that i'm gonna donate to LL... don't damage it! |
[13:50] | Harlow Heslop | haha i heard rumor of last name talk and that was my JIRA so i wanted to come listen in. *laughs* |
[13:50] | Harlow Heslop | oh i can give both my arms if they'd like :D |
[13:51] | Torben | awww |
[13:51] | Erinyse Planer | no but you could ban the residents that did it |
[13:51] | Harlow Heslop | and sorry if i'm standing on oyu. on my bad computer cannot see a thing. |
[13:51] | ъսъъlε ъlօաεг | back |

[13:51] | Adamburp Adamczyk | tis relevant and imporant |
[13:51] | Peewee Musytari | rand....on the lindens home KB page, it says you can change linden homes 5 times in 24 hours, I think it is 5 times an hour (or used to be) is there somewhere u can check if that really changed or if its a typo?....I didn`t edit it in case its actually been changed to 24 hours |
[13:51] | Adamburp Adamczyk | important* |
