it has been three weeks' in the making, but the wait has been well-worth it :-)
if truth be told, it's something i've wanted to do to contribute back to the Second Life community, for a few years.
with the help of my friends DBDigital Epsilon, Sanspareil London and Dacob Paine, the SS Galaxy now has a Community Gateway of its own :-)
Community Gateways are orientation areas for avatars who have just newly registered their Second Life accounts, as alternatives to the Linden-designed ones.
the Galaxy's Community Gateway is a restricted-access area, for the safety and comfort of the newbies. it has been designed after careful observation of the best characteristics from ten other gateways. it is staffed by a hand-picked team of nine crew from a variety of time-zones and with fluency in several languages.
if you have been thinking of opening an account in Second Life, the Captain and crew invite you to kindly consider choosing the SS Galaxy Community Gateway for your initial orientation :-)
[update: the Community Gateway program was closed by Linden Lab on 19 August 2010. i would like to thank all of you who took the time to volunteer to help the newbies at Galaxy Quest. i owe you a debt of gratitude.]
the SS Galaxy Community Gateway welcoming its first newbies :-)
