[OSGeo-Discuss] Gender neutral default image on webpage

Sun Jan 27 11:37:48 PST 2019

What about names?
"aam", "Alessandro","ander2712"
If those are names, there is no last name.

faceless, nameless, one paragraph Bio less, wiki-link less

Unfortunately, I am still trying to figure out on the memeber list how to
use the libavatar.
In some cases, the member page has a picture because the member has an
avatar linked to the mail
But the member list php code is used to list many other items like
projects, news, etc.
and those don't have an avatar. That code use the uploaded picture,
therefore things work like this
On the list (list member, list projects, etc) it uses uploaded picture, no
picture then for members its using the default member picture.
On the member page, if user has avatar uses avatar, if no avatar use
uploaded picture if no picture use default member picture.

For the moment, I am
-0 not listing of members without "individual image" on the list of members,
+0 on not listing members with no full name
+0 on members not having a one paragraph bio AND not having a wiki-link
There is a button where the member can opt-out of being listed.
But the non listing of members without "X" has to be done automatically. (I
need to investigate for when time comes)

Regards
Vicky
