[[!tag wishlist]]
It would be nice if ikiwiki, particularly [[plugins/comments]]
supported user avatar icons.
(but also, ideally, recentchanges) supported user avatar icons.
Idea is to add a directive that displays a small avatar image for a user.
Pass it the email address, openid, or wiki username of the user.
Pass it a user's the email address, openid, username, or the md5 hash
of their email address:
\[[!avatar user@example.com]]
\[[!avatar http://joey.kitenet.net/]]
\[[!avatar user]]
\[[!avatar hash]]
These directives can then be hand-inserted onto pages, or more likely,
included in eg, a comment post via a template. Possibly included in a
recentchanges page item via that template too?
The avatars are provided by various sites. For email addresses, it uses a
[gravatar](http://gravatar.com/). For a wiki username, the
user's email address is looked up and the gravatar for that user is
displayed. (Of course, the user has to have filled in their email address
on their Preferences page for that to work.)
For openid, openavatar sucked and is now dead. So we need to use an email
address instead, I guess. Problem is that the email address of a given
openid is only known when that user is logged in and making a change.
And we don't want to leak an openid user's email into a page either.
Hmm. Suppose the gravatar hash could be calculated from the email address
and embedded instead of the openid?
Or, for openid, could use <http://paulisageek.com/openidavatar>.

The `gravitar_options` setting in the setup file can be used to
specify additional options to pass. So for example if you want
to use wavatars everywhere, set it to "default=wavatar".

Hmm. Suppose the gravatar hash could be calculated from the email address

but not if the directive were used elsewhere.
Or, for openid, could use <http://paulisageek.com/openidavatar>. Which
works fine, but users are not likely to figure out what they need to do to
get an avatar associated with their openid.

Alternative, not overdesigned approach:
Modify comments plugin to have an option to display avatars.
When posting a comment, fill in the avatarhash field in the template.
The hash is calculated from the user's email address. If the user's email
is not known, skip it.
End. :P
