Here are some ideas people suggested for a freebie for folks in the Wolverine community and to give away. The idea is to help find UM alumni around SL by having something interesting and engaging that can help get the word out that we are here!
- a Wolverine HUD, perhaps a customized or branded version of the SaLamander search tool, with useful information
- a Wolverine TINY avatar
- a Wolverine FURRY avatar
- a UM sculpture for SL, animated, interactive and cool, maybe a SL-ified version of the cube?
- freebie BellTower that would actually tell time for folks to set on their land
What other ideas do you folks have?
- Patricia / Lexi
