[[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 convenient instructions to help make the basic tools of Second Life, such as building and scripting, available to the uninitiated. While most of this information has already been presented elsewhere (such as on the [[Second Life Knowledge Base]]), this website aims to organize the data in a format that provides a high degree of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usability Usability].

==About this Website==
 +
This site is an experiment in elaborating a [[mental toolkit]]. A mental toolkit is a collection of [[conceptual scheme]]s which, by reflecting how the world works, help the person carry out individual and collective projects. If the person's mental schemes accurately reflect how the world in fact works, their projects are more likely to succeed. This experiment is rooted in a political outlook: that of trying to distribute power more equally to all members of society. See [[Danton's politics]].

==Is this website a wiki?==
+
In browsing, you may discover pages or categories on this website left over from when it was used for other things. In fact, I've used this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediawiki MediaWiki] site for a series of different projects, each of which replaced that preceding.
This website runs on [[MediaWiki]] software, which is the wiki software used by Wikipedia. This might give the false impression that the website is a wiki. But in fact only registered users can edit pages, and the only registered user at the moment is [[User:Danton|Danton Sideways]].
