supported user avatar icons. I was considering adding a directive for this, supported user avatar icons.
as designed below.
However, there is no *good* service for mapping openids to avatars -- Idea is to add a directive that displays a small avatar image for a user.
openavatar has many issues, including not supporting delegated openids, and Pass it the email address, openid, or wiki username of the user.
after trying it, I don't trust it to push users toward.
Perhaps instead ikiwiki could get the email address from the openid
provider, though I think the perl openid modules don't support the openid
2.x feature that allows that.
At the moment, working on this doesn't feel like a good use of my time.

Hmm.. unless is just always used a single provider (gravatar) and hashed
the openid. Then wavatars could be used to get a unique avatar per openid
at least. --[[Joey]]

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?

with it; probably better to just get the email via SREG (as is done now for
openid), and use that. For a wiki username, the
