Welcome Center: Item donations

Post by Dot Matrix »

This thread is for requests and offers of items for the Kitely Welcome Center, currently being developed by community members.

What we particularly need at the moment is good quality, attractive, low-lag trees, shrubs and plants.

<This bit is incorrect>Please make sure that they are properly licensed for use in this context, perhaps via the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-SA 3.0) licence (this is the licence under which the Universal Campus is used in Kitely).

============
Edit: Shrank the text of the incorrect licence arrangement.

Instead, please grant Kitely Ltd. unlimited commercial use of any donated item.

Apologies! (And if the text needs tweaking further, please let me know.)
============
Edit 2: Highlighted the main request, since it seems not to have got across. Because there hasn't been that great a response yet, placeholder items have had to be used. None of us like them.
============
Edit 3: Toned down the formatting because I don't really like shouting.

Well, that licencing throws anything I would make out completely and I'd love to contribute :(

What licence would you prefer to use, Dundridge? Note the "perhaps".

Something more restrictive along the lines "For use in the Kitely welcome centre only" :D

I'm not nearly rich enough, and am not being paid by a university or other organisation to give stuff away to everyone !

Hi Dot :-)

We don't need to require people to provide a license that is more than an approval for unlimited commercial use by Kitely Ltd. The Universal Campus was created with an intention of sharing an OAR file, the Kitely Welcome Center isn't created in order to share content with the people visiting it (objects inworld should not allow copying).

Thanks for the clarification, Ilan. I'll edit the first post to make this clear.

Please note the newly highlighted request in the original post -- the bit in [no longer] big red letters.

No words have been changed, just the formatting.

So, to repeat:
What we particularly need at the moment is good quality, attractive, low-lag trees, shrubs and plants.

Thanks for any help!

What about using snappy trees? Is that the kind of low lag high quality you're looking for?

Thanks, Ada; we are trying SnappyTrees.

Getting the right final shape is proving a bit tricky. Trees are used to frame spaces sometimes in the region (think natural archways), and getting the branches to fall "just right" is not always straightforward.
