Baba Sucks

That’s right. The libsecondlife website is now pretty. We’ve traded in the old CMS front page for a clean wiki. It took a bit of hacking on MediaWiki to get it to play nice with us, but in the end it’s a better platform for our needs. Less frontage and more substance.

Some nice functionality with the new layout is the ability to scale down to profile tab size as well as making the site more open to the rest of the community. Hopefully it will herald the end to outdated links because somebody(me) was too lazy or forgetful to update the static pages.

Please send any issues you my have with the new layout to me at baba@libsecondlife.org.

Yes It's true what the title says. libsecondlife does indeed have a new website. Check it out at http://www.libsecondlife.org/.  The SL Protocol wiki has become the libsecondlife and Second Life protocol documentation wiki. I'm just gonna call it the libSL wiki. OH YEA! You can find it at http://www.libsecondlife.org/protocol/

I am responsible for the site layout, so if you see any funky display problems you can let me know. Please pardon the sparse content at the moment, we'll be updating the site quite a bit in the next week or so.

For those of you who have no clue what the hell I'm talking about, libsecondlife is open source reimplementation of the Second Life networking protocol. This means it's fully independent from the official client, and it can construct and interpret any packet the official client can.

libsecondlife is not a Second Life client, but it can be used to create a Second Life client. libsecondlife is a library of functions that help a programmer connect their program to Second Life.

libsecondlife originally used the Boost C++ libraries, but recent development has focused on the C# version. C# offers greater cross platform compatibility through the use of .Net and Mono. Though .Net is only available for Windows, we strive to maintain Mono support in the core library. This means that libsecondlife is compatible with almost any system that is supported by Mono.

I spent a little time putting these together and I figure someone will get some use out of them. The collection of available addons is at http://slinked.net/sl/ So far the available search addons are, Snapzilla Second Life Knowledge Base Second Life History Wiki Second Life Scripting Wiki Second Life Inworld Help via google If you have a recomendation for a new search tool please leave a comment. Currently they don't have custom icons to match their sites, so if you're interested in that please leave a comment.

No cooler place to be, except for maybe here.
