Hi folks,

As we know, Linden Viewer 1 contains a default avatar - "Ruth" - that is used if no body parts are worn. This means that a new user in a fresh OpenSim standalone always starts off with some avatar.

However, Linden Viewer 2 doesn't contain a default avatar. Thus, a new user appears as mist until they create and wear all four body parts (shape, skin, hair, eyes). And even then, they're naked until they were both upper and lower clothing. This has already caused some confusion for new OpenSim server users.

Are there objections to bundling a "Ruth" with OpenSim to maintain the newbie OpenSim server experience? This avatar would closely replicate Ruth in order to avoid favoring any particular application or content creator. The option to create the default body part/clothing could be turned off by default, only being turned on in OpenSim binary download packages.
