[Opensim-users] Announcement of inventory tool (MyInventory), mostly of interest to grid operators/grid nauts

[Nebadon Izumi]

I blocked this because honestly I did not like the tone and direction this
whole project was heading in, It will remained blocked for now until which
time we deem the usage of this tool to be acceptable for use on this and
other grids, as far as I can tell the consensus seems to be against this
tool in its current form and there seems to be no real clear decision yet
on licensing of the code, to be honest I do not have much time to be
involved in this project or conversation right now, so we are going to err
on the side of caution and not endorse this tool for now.
