[Opensim-dev] Display Names

[Melanie Thielker]

Hi,

there is no one in core who has an interest in display names. Last
time it was spoken about we were unanimous that display names are a
BadThing.

Regardless, if someone cares to make a module for them, we would
accept it. It's just that none of us will make one. We just don't
like or need the feature,
