Geonode Avatars

Geonode Avatars

As part of ticket #537 [0], we need to add supports for user's avatars
leveraging the Gravatar(Globally Recognized) service [1].

The description in the ticket implies forcing the use of Gravatar imposing
the burden on the user to create and account there.

I propose we use django-avatar, which allows users to upload their own
avatar inside GeoNode (for example in the profile page) and has a failback
in Gravatar if the user has not defined a custom profile.

I have implemented django-avatar on another site before and implementing it
is just a matter of a few hours.

Should I go for it?

Ariel.

Yeah, that's sounds perfect.
