So I've added a couple listings to the SL History wiki, but I find that I am simply too new to really know a great deal of the history about the older locations

Specifically, I've been mucking around with this http://slhistory.org/index.php/Sansara, particularly on the points of interest. It still needs a lot of work, and many of those same points of interest are blank pages or scant paragraphs.

There are some big, important places with no information at all: YadNi's Junkyard is blank, as is the teen grid transfer station. Most of the infohubs -- yes, including Bear -- are not touched on at all. Even Mount G'al, Chalet Linden, and Montara Bridge are drawing blanks.

If anyone who has been around for a while, would like to lend a hand, upload some old piccies of some of the site or share their history, I tink it'd be dandy. The Sansara page itself needs a lot of fleshing out, too.

Anyone oldbies wish to lend a hand? Pretty please?

Mari

I'll see if I can come up with something for Chalet Linden. People were really excited about the snow sims when they came out in 2004.

Cool! An ya, I saw some old archives of the Second Life main page yesterday on archive.org. including the one saying that the snow sims had arrived. Those *hadda* be interesting times!

Mari

P.S.: Archive.org is fun for dat. I tried to join the original beta through it yesterday (no such luck - I coulda had some cool last names!), saw the main page from about the day I joined (almost 150k members, and about 1500 concurrent!), an found an old survey on making a mobile version of Second Life. Finding an archived Snapzilla was also a ton of fun.

When they took out the pages for the history of the TOS, I stopped bothering with the SL History Wiki.

I added a few more points of interest to the Sansara page, mostly from combing through existing materials on the site. I assume there is little interest in this project otherswise, an I've reached about my limit of what I know an can provide.

I'll do some research this week too, Mari. Life has been weird lately, so haven't done as much as I wanted to.

I did some more work on Sansara, mostly text clean-up, including adding a skeleton entry for The Forest of Kahruvel (I've asked Salazar Jack to take this up - thankoo!) and Clementina Park, adding additional history (merged from the old Southern Continent page), fixed the Kissling page (an old dispute there; shame the history wiki doesn't have the same mechanisms as Wikipedia for dat).

As well as the forest an the park, I made a point of interest link for the Appreciation of the Beta Users Memorial, and added both the Vehicle Sims an the Outlands to regions.

Note to Oryx: the Islandia conundrum is solved! We were correct, and it is both Anshe Chung land *and* mainland. These were big blocks of mainland she bought in 1/06, an was allowed to do initial terraforming on by LL.

Still *tons* of stuff dat could be added to. Here's some of the big gaps:

* Chalet Linden
* The Great SL Railroad
* Montara Bridge (which might also be AKA The Eric Linden Bridge - more information needed!)
* GNUbie Store
* Mount G'al
* YadNi's
* Sutherland Dam
* Just about every infohub (dat includes Bear. Go get 'em!)

These could also use historical (even current!) photos.

The Nuba Region is also untouched, as are about a kajillion sims. Does anyone know how many sims big the continent of Sansara is, or when the last one (prob'ly in Linden Village Annex?) was put in?

I also added one of the few Corsican natural landmarks, Mt. Aracar, to that continent's page.
