SL for newbies. “SAVE is dedicated to preserving free Basic Education classes in Second Life. We believe that easy access to life-skills education is critical to the continued success of Second Life. By opening a dialog between LL, SL residents, and RL interests, we’re confident we’ll be able to engineer a solution that works for everyone. Let’s keep Basic Ed free, pay our teachers, and support LL’s growth.”
