Neualtenburg is this week's featured article.

http://history.secondserver.net/index.php/Main_Page

From: someone
The Neualtenburg Projekt is a nonprofit cooperative and self-governed community, whose purpose is to enable group ownership of high-quality public, private, and open-space land; create a themed yet expressive community of public and private builds; and implement novel democratic forms of self government within Second Life. The city is modeled after a medieval Bavarian city with postmodern architectural elements in the private sim of Neualtenburg. Most of SL is based upon the precepts of modern architecture, where land and buildings are dominated by the rectangle. One of the goals of this project is to create a city which replaces orthogonality with organic and brings together the medieval and modern.
...Anzere was the location for the Neualtenburg Projekt from August 2004 to May 2005. Around August 2004, Linden Labs was worried about the way snow sims were "misused" - people simply ignored the "theme" and built whatever they wanted - even outdoor swimming pools. Very quickly, there was no real difference between a snow sim and a tropical sim in terms of building, and it was too late to "enforce" new rules.

Holy cow! Our history page looks great. It's something that I've been wanting to do for months but never had time. It's perfect. :D

Who entered all that data? Was it you Eugene? I see that your name is on all of the uploaded images. :)

Thank you!
