I think you need to decide which community you intend to support, actually. On the one hand, a professional organization will prefer to have real names, real pictures, etc. On the other, if you want to be a central coordinating spot for the existing Haskell community, many of us are far better known by nicknames and identicons. If you want to support both, then perhaps you need multiple "portals", with people wanting to be identified professionally registering appropriately in order to show up in the professional portal. But then you have the difficulty of how to show content in each portal (for example, a forum discussion might be cited in the professional forum, but what if some or all of the contributors were on the community side? You might show names and pictures from the professional side and some kind of placeholder for those not registered professionally, but then you need to worry about the folks who want to keep their professional and "online" identities separate. - -- brandon s. allbery [linux,solaris,freebsd,perl] allb...@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allb...@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAky0XIoACgkQIn7hlCsL25VCsQCfVPHZFM3ZY0syuCQ55P78R5a9 hnkAnimXEzujTNifh5jgwnQyMsrZmwo0 =Fppp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
