Hi Folks, I've been researching the possibilities for nonprofits on Second Life (http://www.secondlife.com), the virtual world. I'm participating in some "in-world" projects that TechSoup is organizing around nonprofits in SL. There will be an event later this month and we're starting to compile a directory of nonprofits using it. You can see the directory here (http://www.writely.com/View.aspx?docid=aptcrhmkxkv_bcjvrhrc2vgbq)
So far, I've seen some "museums" in second life - created by residents, but not any real life museums there - there may be, but haven't run across it. The San Jose Art Museum is building a virtual Island for display of virtual art works being sought from SL http://www.ludica.org.uk/NewWest/ The event will coincide with ZeroOne Festival http://isea2006.sjsu.edu/Grabbed from comments in blog post here: I'm wondering if any of you are investigating the possibilities or doing any projects. There a huge community of educators (320) from universities, some teen education projects, a library project, and embryonic nonprofit presence. I've written up what I learn on my blog here: http://beth.typepad.com/beths_blog/npsl/index.html Beth
