Description

I think if we add some custom fields to each user account it will make it easier to get to know everyone and connect people's faces/accounts to the names. I propose we add:

  • IRC handle - can help with support
  • Twitter account - can help with support
  • Github account - can help when reviewing patches and giving credit

Thoughts? Any other ones?

These along with the standard fields should suffice, I vote yes on all three.

I vote for those three.

Further, it would be nice to link to your homepage but I believe that this invites spammers to join the project... :(

Ok with those too. Can we make the custom fields for the twitter and github just take your nick and automagically create the right links and stuff?

I agree, we'd need a bit more control over links I think.

Not yet, Chili Project doesn't support auto-linking custom fields. Ideally, we could create new Custom Data Types for each of those and then it would just work. I started working on a url one but we would need to change how Chili Project is escaping custom data first. Nothing too difficult, just needs some major testing.
