Linden Lab announced yesterday on the Official Second Life Blog, that the KB has been moved to the new Second Life Wiki home (Knowlege Base) and that the migration phrase has now been completed. CLICK HERE to visit the new KB wiki. Thanks to the Doc Team for their hard work they have put into this over recent months. :D
It’s official: Our Knowledge Base (KB) has been moved to the Second Life Wiki! Now that our massive migration is complete, we can offer several tremendous, hands-on benefits to improve your knowledge-seeking and knowledge-sharing experience, including:
- Direct linking–at long last! The link you see is what you copy and paste to share helpful articles with others. It’s that simple.|
- Unified help resource! When the KB and the Wiki existed in two different places, some were confused over where to look for help. Viva la unification! Now there’s just one place to find everything you need.
- Link hotlist integration! Have a few articles that you refer to over and over again? Take a few minutes to make a Wiki page, link to those on-Wiki pages, and then share it with others with similar needs.
- Robust internationalization! The Wiki is already used by numerous volunteers to provide translated versions of KB articles. Multibyte character encoding support, which our previous system didn’t have, means that languages like Japanese and others with extended characters will be retained as intended.
- Accelerated article revision time! The team effort makes updates a breeze. Not only does wikifying the KB make it easier for us to release content updates, but you can also review articles for even faster dissemination of information. Heck, if you spot a mistake, you can correct it in minutes or even seconds.
What do you think of the new Second Life Knowlege Base ?
Philip Rosedale (Philip Linden) announced yesterday on the Official Second Life Blog his Next Chapter, that he will be starting a new company and that he will no longer be working full-time at Linden Lab anymore. Philip Rosedale will still be a chariman of Linden Lab and he will still do media conferences about Second Life. M Linden (Mark Kindon) became the new CEO of Linden Lab about one year and a half ago when Philip Linden stepped down as CEO.
I’m starting a new company, and wanted to let you know.
I will still be chairman, as I have been since leaving the job as CEO. The change is that I’m not going to be working full-time at Linden Lab anymore (some of you might have thought I wasn’t still there, but actually I have been!). I’ll still be doing the same outbound and media type things as before – talking about Second Life, etc.
We’re now at a place where I feel really comfortable that Second Life and Linden Lab are OK without me being here day to day anymore.
M (and others) have also managed to hire a bunch of diverse, smart, passionate people who I feel can very capably lead the company.
And as for all of you – the people all over the world who have built Second Life – you all feel very near and dear to me, and I want you to be a part of this next adventure. I can’t say enough, or say thank you enough, about the experience that has been watching Second Life come to life. On a personal level, it has deeply changed me. I am a different and better person, in part through the experience of being in Second Life with all of you. So anyway… I’ll keep you posted, as I get things more sorted out
I wish Philip good luck on his new adventures. So I guess now the full attention is now pointing towards M Linden to carry us through into the distant future of Second Life. This was a big shock to many and I really do admire what Philip has done over recent years and of course bring us Second Life. But with all things everything has to end sometime and move on at some point.

New details released that the Second Life Forums will be merged and that it will be the same layout (style) of the new SL website and XStreet SL. From whats been said recently there will be a announcement within a week. So it will be all new and improved very soon.
There have been alot of new changes this year already including the new Second Life Blog, Second Life website, SL Dashboard, SL Answers and next in the pipe line is SL Forums. Most residents love the new changes where the others don’t like the new changes at all. In the near future we can expect new changes to the Second Life user-interface and the new installation layout including additional new changes to the new user experience. We will have to wait and see! :D
This Wednesday, September 23, from 4-5pm SLT, Philip Linden and T Linden will be participating in a mixed-reality panel discussion, titled, Second Life: The Largest User-Generated Virtual Goods Economy in the World. As the season opener of Metanomics, the event will be broadcast by TREET.TV and will be accessible inworld and on the web. We hope you’ll join us!
Will you be attending ?
