[Opensim-users] Asset setup incorrect?

[Mic Bowman]

Some of the grid management packages create default inventories including
all the appropriate appearance items. SimianGrid clones an existing avatar
inventory into a class that can be loaded to pre-create a fully populated
initial inventory for every avatar (including appearance settings).

Would it be that hard to do something similar for stock opensim where you
distribute an IAR that would be loaded when the initial avatar is created
(like a parameter to the create user functions).
