[Opensim-dev] OAR - Group Handling Across Grids

[Justin Clark-Casey]

Hi Austin.  OAR/IAR loading probably will end up ignoring/resetting the group by default, since it's difficult to 
transport this data across at the moment.

I'm also away of the bug with changing the group of an object.  I'd like to deal with these but I'm swamped by other 
things at the moment.  However, they are on my list.

Best,

Justin
