Owner: KeknehvPsaltery ::| I am looking for help.
| I want to volunteer to help others.
| |
| Don't be afraid to ask for help, but do try to read the relevant sections of the wiki beforehand, if you know what they are. If you can't figure it out, don't worry about it, but don't be too discouraged if the person you're asking for help doesn't have time to help you. Scripting mentors tend to be busy and may not be available to help you, even if they're online. To see which scripting mentors are online, use the scanner script at the bottom of the page. 1. When asking for help, it's a good idea to mention this page, as in, "Hello. I got your name from the Scripting Mentors page on the wiki. I have a question about listeners. Do you have time to help me?" This tells the mentor: A) that you're asking for help, B) that you know what you're asking about, and C) where you got their name. 2. If a scripting mentor says they cannot help you, be polite, and ask someone else. Scripting mentors are volunteers who are under no obligation to help you, and who may be very busy. They will be less inclined to help you if you insult or berate them for not helping you. 3. Please remember, just because someone has volunteered to be a scripting mentor, they do not have to write code for you. We may teach you how to fish, but do not expect us to give you a fish. If you ask us how to fish, we will give you our wisdom; but if you ignore our wisdom and ask for a fish, you will end up with neither. 4. This is not a Linden-sponsored or updated group, as the real Mentors are. Nevertheless, they may be helpful for resolving scripting problems and offering advice. They cannot help you with getting SL to run, learning to use SL or resolving disputes. If you need that, contact Live Help. | Please add yourself if you wish to do so, with a little bit of your area of expertise, the PST times that you are usually on, and whether or not you answer IMs sent while offline. (Don't worry about copying someone else's expertise entry if they've described your skillset accurately.) (Remember, PST is the time shown in the upper right-hand corner of the SL program.) If you wish to add your name to this list, please do so in alphabetical order by first name to maintain readability, and add your name and key to the scanner script. Please don't add yourself to this list just because it sounds fun. You do need to have a bit of skill and expertise. This is not the LSL Wiki Mirror contributors list. If you know how to script, but don't know how to add your name to the list, see the contribute page to get started. Attention Main Grid Mentors, A group is available called LSL Wiki Mirror HELP, feel free to join it if you would like to keep contact with other mentors or display your status as a LSL Wiki Mirror mentor. |
