 [[!tag wishlist]]
 
 It would be nice if ikiwiki, particularly [[plugins/comments]]
-supported user avatar icons.
+(but also, ideally, recentchanges) supported user avatar icons.
+
+> Update: Done for comments, but not for anything else, and the directive
+> below would be a nice addition. --[[Joey]] 
 
 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>.

 An optional second parameter can be included, containing additional
 options to pass in the
