[sldev] Landmarks and Navigation Update 2008-05-01

[Stephany Filimon]

*Save the Date: Rx Office Hour 2008-05-08*
* "What do I do now?!"
* Next week, the topic of Benjamin Linden's weekly office hour 
(Thursdays at 3 PM Pacific in Beaumont) will be the *"What do I do 
now?!" problem.
** New residents need to be able to see what's happening right now, 
during their first few moments in Second Life, and determine if they're 
interested in joining.
* This is a huge problem after you mull it over a bit, and we'd love 
your feedback. 
* If you cannot attend next week's office hour, please email me directly 
or just hit sldev at .

*Landmarks and Navigation Project Update*
* This past week's responses to the wireframes was positive. We received 
some great technical feedback.
* There was obvious concern over the five-word limitation on Primary 
meta-tags, but we do not believe we're clear on the ability to use 
unlimited personal secondary
tags. 
* We're currently reviewing how many words the Primary need to be.  
* We're still reviewing JIRA for open issues regarding landmarks and 
navigation, as well as Second Life-related blogs for opinions on UI, 
navigation, organization, landmarks, the Viewer, etc. 
* To date, we've talked with over 200 residents and are compiling that data.
* We're also getting support from these residents in agreeing to review 
proposed solutions in the future.  Thank you!
* We're currently assessing the technical feasibility of adding metadata 
to landmarks and other inventory assets; if not we need to create a new 
data structure so, in the future, residents can tag friends and clothes, 
etc.
* In the wireframes we still need to address where and how to "SHARE"
* We'll have 3-4 completed wireframes (concepts) by the end of this week.
* Vectorform will visit Linden Lab in mid-May to present work completed 
thus far, and so we can move on to choosing and building prototypes 
before code implementation.
