-supported user avatar icons. I was considering adding a directive for this,

+(but also, ideally, recentchanges) supported user avatar icons.

 
 

-However, there is no *good* service for mapping openids to avatars --
-openavatar has many issues, including not supporting delegated openids, and
-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 directive displays a small avatar image for a user. Pass it the
-email address, openid, or wiki username of the user.
+Idea is to add a directive that displays a small avatar image for a 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 user@example.com]]
        \[[!avatar http://joey.kitenet.net/]]
        \[[!avatar user]]

+       \[[!avatar hash]]

 
 

-The avatars are provided by various sites. For email addresses, it uses a
-[gravatar](http://gravatar.com/). For openid,
-[openavatar](http://www.openvatar.com/) is used. 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.)
+These directives can then be hand-inserted onto pages, or more likely,
+included in eg, a comment post via a template.
