[opensource-dev] display names = the end of 1.x viewers?

[Jesse Barnett]

baloo198731.resident        Plenty of names available.

This has absolutely nothing to do with "We listened to our users" as this is
not what we asked for. Pyske figured it out in the SLU thread. This is a
move to the openID format and this is confirmed when you look at the Display
Name wiki page:

"This feature is an important step on our social media strategy that will
ultimately allow you to connect your inworld identity to other social
networks, on an opt-in basis. Again, Display Names and eventually, the
connection to social networks, is all about choice."
