[Opensim-dev] Changes to users table used by the UserServer

[Aldon Hynes]

On the otherhand, I think it may be useful to have those as optional fields
available to grid operators.   If I'm running a small private grid in the
United States, I can easily see wanting that information without getting
into issues with EU directives.

My two cents.

  I agree with Tleiades, adding such fields (and storing the data in them)
would be a complex thing due to data protection/privacy laws
(like:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directive_95/46/EC_on_the_protection_of_p
ersonal_data).

    This information links a user to real life person, and as such starts to
interract with the various data protection acts across the globe. Especially
EU is a messy tangle I think.

      The eight fields defined in an 'update_users.sql' are :

      realname1
      realname2
      address1
      zip1
      city1
      country1
      emailaddress
      active
