Great. These are interesting ideas. Having a dynamic last name assigned like
"Guest001" through "Guest999" (or Anon, or Anonymous) might be a way forward
for chat and IM. Personally, I would prefer a 'shorter' as opposed to 'longish'
last name, but thats only my personal typing bias.
I could certainly see OpenViewer, Hippo, IdealistViewer or RexClient moving in
this direction if there was sufficient community interest.
The main reason I brought it up was to think forward a little bit towards
educational, scientific and general usage in a 3D internet paradigm that might
be one of those small steps that would gain OpenSim more acceptance.
I am not thinking of the SecondLife client or maingrid here so much as trying
to imagine a few features that would benefit OpenSim six months from now. And a
guest or anon login seems like one of those.
This being the eave of our OS2B, it just seemed to me that discussing a few of
these sorts of ideas would be at least stimulating for our OpenSim community.

Subject: Re: [Opensim-dev] anon logins
Last name "anonymous"; first name would have to be unique. Then you
would have a unique first/last name to make the viewer happy. Perhaps a
web page could assign you a unique first name before you logged in.
Opensim would then need to treat this user special, (anyone with last
name anonymous). I would imagine the Opensim.ini file would specify
what capabilities an anonymous user had.
[anonymous]
move=true
fly=false
chat=true
shout=false
build=true
script=false
etc.
Peace,

Frank give this a try , try logging into osgrid or
secondlife 2 times with the same account and tell me what happens, and
how do you think the SL viewer would respond if 30 peopel logged into
Wright Plaza with the name "Anonymous User" think beyond just the
login, think about functionaly using Chat and access things in world
that require checking the user name and delivering information to
them.. Personally i dont see this happening with the Linden Viewer,
but lets keep the topic rolling here, im not trying to shut it down,
perhaps someone can prove me wrong.
