Hello,
Rob has just finished work on Gravatar support, and it has now been
merged onto the test servers (see [1] for an example).
While most people are generally for Gravatar support, but a few people
have shown some concern over it. So this presents us with 3 options:
* Mandatory Gravatars for all users with email addresses. Gravatars
will not show if the user does not have an email address. This is the
current solution.
* Optional Gravatar support - server Gravatars by hot-linking, but
allow users to specify whether they want Gravatar support on or off.
* Mirrored Gravatar support - as above, but Gravatars are first cached
on MusicBrainz servers. This will cause an extra overhead on the
servers, as at some point we have to update all our cached copies. I'm
generally against this idea, for that reason…
* Use a hot-linked Gravatar, and support custom image uploads.
What do people think – which of these should we use?
