[[Second Life]] avatar [[User:Danton|Danton Sideways]] presents this information to help Internet users, and also as a showcase for the practice of [[Convivial Tools]] and [[Usability]]. The main goal is to provide convenient instructions to help make the basic tools of the Internet available to the uninitiated.

==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]].
