[Opensim-dev] RFC: Ways of creating profiles for creators who will never log in

[Diva Canto]

The origin of this thread was OARs and IARs (for content porting between 
OpenSims), and foreign users (for the HG). I don't think there was ever 
any intention of grabbing profiles from Second Life, although, as far as 
I know, those profiles are available on the web so it would be 
technically feasible to do it, but it would probably have to be 
special-cased.
