This website is an interlinked set of how-to instructions about using [[Second Life]]. For how to use this site, see [[Start Here]].

==Danton's Second Life User Guide==
 +
This website was orginally created as [[Danton's Second Life User Guide]]. But that unfinished project came to an end when a new version of the Second Life viewer rendered all of the screenshots obsolete. To see the remains of my Second Life User Guide project, follow these links:
 +
*User Guide starting page: [[Danton's Second Life User Guide]]
 +
*User Guide root category: [[:Category:Second Life]]

The site is currently '''under construction'''. Any text within an article that is unfinished or in doubt is '''marked in bold characters'''. Articles that are linked to but not yet created appear as [[Red Links]].

==Danton's Second Life Data Garage==
 +
In addition to the [[Danton's Second Life User Guide|SL User Guide]], this website holds a miscellany of Danton's data about Second Life and related stuff. See for example the following (rather empty) categories:
 +
*[[:Category:CDS]] - pages about the Confederation of Democratic Simulators, the Second Life community where Danton lives
 +
*[[:Category:OpenSim]] - pages about the open source version of the Second Life software
 +
*[[:Category:Libsecondlife]] - pages about open source protocols underlying OpenSim

[[Second Life]] avatar [[User:Danton|Danton Sideways]] presents this information to help Second Life users, and also as a showcase for the practice of [[Convivial Tools]]. The main goal is to provide instructions to help make the uninitiated learn the basic tools of Second Life. Most of this information has already been presented elsewhere, notably in the [[Second Life Knowledge Base]] and other [[Second Life Tutorials]]. However, the data is organised here in a text format that provides a high degree of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usability Usability]. The concept of usability is related to the secondary goal of this website, which is to show how [[Convivial Tools]] can be designed to increase the capacities of the average user.
