SL Volunteer Mentor Scribes
The volunteer information on this page is now out of date and will be kept for historical purposes. Please do not update information on this page.
Mentor Scribes are well-versed, seasoned volunteers within the group who are willing to be contacted directly by other volunteers for assistance in writing, wiki development, and wiki collaboration. This is entirely an opt-in role and may bear extra responsibility, but for many of you who are already wiki gurus, this role will grant you acknowledgment for your contributions.
Purpose of Mentor Scribes
- To provide advice to newcomers on how to create their SL Wiki profile and how to use wiki templates.
- To assist in reorganization of the wiki for added functionality or ease of use.
- To provide feedback on or to develop ways for creative collaboration using the wiki.
- To assist in promoting and preserving the culture of the volunteer program using text.

Requirements for Becoming a Mentor Scribe
Mentor Scribes are asked to create a user page within the Second Life Volunteer Wiki with some form of text on it that shows the ability to edit and maintain a wiki page. "Advanced knowledge" of the wiki is not required, but the ability to assist others with setting up their own user page and diving into the wiki is a must. At the moment, there is no requirement for number of contributions made to the wiki, though Mentor Scribes are expected to have some level of involvement in its development or progress.
