			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some things I&#8217;m planning to get or build or get built in Second Life, in no particular order, some of them for <a href="http://zoomlab.org/kc/">Kids Connect</a> and some not:</p>

<ul>
<li>very easy-to-use picture and video viewers so the kids can just upload some images &#8212; or link to some video files &#8212; and chuck them onto an object to be shown immediately.  </li>
<li>an area densely filled with pretty things to be used in a live visual performance, whether by inworld snapshots or just going fullscreen and closing all the onscreen windows</li>
<li>a (probably blog-based) system that will take emailed snapshots and pull them into a live visual performance.  This one&#8217;s specifically for use at SHARE.  Example of how this would go:

<ul>
<li>SL Residents read about SHARE and the SHARE SL project on my land</li>
<li>on a Sunday night, they login to SL, go to their favorite places and take snapshots, emailing them to secondlife at share dot dj OR a Flickr post-by-email address.</li>
<li>Visualist(s) at SHARE runs a Max/MSP/Jitter patch that grabs these snapshots (from email or RSS &#8212; this might be easiest to demo by using a feedreader like NetNewsWire that can auto-download images to a specific folder that Max can poll) and incorporates them into their visual performance.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>a few buildings that are conducive to group meetings and classes</li>
<li>a dark building with winding corridors that lead the visitor to various rooms with video art/live visual displays</li>
</ul>

<p>I would love to get help with these &#8212; I&#8217;m a novice with Linden Scripting Language and I don&#8217;t want to spend time and effort making something that someone&#8217;s already made much better.  If you know some good builders and coders in SL, please let them know about Kids Connect and Share. They can get some info <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Zeuzera/48/42/100/?title=Dan%20Magpie%27s%20plot">on my land</a> inworld.</p>
