Last week I posted on Dusan Writers contest to re-design the interface for the Second Life Client. Today Dusan announced the finalists and I’m happy to say I’m one of them with my ‘less = more’ design! I was excited and honoured to compete with 5 other excellent suggestions for improvement. Dusan created a complete overview of all competitors and the contest itself:
It’s now down to the jury, consisting of well-known Second Life community members Ordinal Malaprop, Keystone Bouchard, Eristic Strangelove and Vint Falken. They will review the idea’s/designs and declare the winners of the total 800.000L$ prize money. To be complete, here is an overview of all the contestants in the finals and their contributions:

“They will review the idea’s/designs and declare a winner of the 800.000L$ for the best design.”
A small correction: there are three prizes which total L$800k, rather than a single prize of that amount. Which is good news for the rest of us, if we hope to compete with your very thoughtful and newbie-focused entry. :-)

Corrected and you are selling yourself short! I love the inventory improvements you’ve made and I really hope the Lindens are paying attention to your clear information grouping :-)
