I've been wondering if there's a document, book, or web page somewhere that explains every feature that exists in the SL viewer (each preferences setting, etc.).

there's an SL user guide on Amazon, but it looks outdated.

Considering the speed of client and feature change, I'm going to go with "no". However, there are a lot of guides and FAQs available on the main site, and a search on these forums for any given feature/menu could be very helpful.
(Even if it directs you the JIRA, where you find out the feature will be added next ver.) |

I should have mentioned that I've already purchased all the books on Amazon and I've scoured the wiki as best I could. The wiki relies on me being able to name the feature I'm interested in. What I'm looking for is some reading material where I might pick up on a new feature I wasn't even aware of yet.
Thanks! |

Torley's tutorials are pretty good. I've been here a little over a year, and I learn new things from them all the time. Well, from him and from RA.

There isn't really any documentation apart from resident-written wikis; choosing random pages, or wandering around between pages from one that you are interested in, is all that you will be able to do with them. Apart from that: mailing lists, looking at the viewer code yourself, asking questions on the forums, reading old threads, talking to people in-world, that sort of thing. _____________________
