Second Life Wiki Of Choice

When learning Second Life scripting, there are two choices of wiki. One is owned by Linden Labs and the other is independent. I've found the independent one to be a much better resource, but your ideas may be different.

The Independent Wiki http://www.lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=HomePage

The Linden Labs Wiki http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Portal

When I have added content, I have tried to add it to both sites, but it seems more people use the lslwiki.

One issue with the independent Wiki is ownership. It isn't clear if people who have posted to the wiki have given up their copyrights while the Linden Labs Wiki puts all information posted to the wiki in the public domain. I wonder if there will be some kind of crazy court case concerning intellectual property and public wiki's in the future? It seems inherent to me that if you post something on a wiki you are giving up your copyright, but I do see that it needs to be clearly stated or some kind of legal settlement needs to happen.
