Feature Proposal: More Visual User Profile Pages

Motivation

The current user profile pages are bare bones. The form fields are more intended for public TWikis. This feature proposal brings:

  • a more visual page layout
  • default form fields tailored for the workplace

A few changes on the original proposal, reflected in above proposal:

  • Change terminology from "User Homepage" to "User Profile Page"
  • Change "Title" to "Titles" - planning ahead to avoid conflict when page title is based on form field called "Title" (currently used on twiki.org in Support questions and blog articles)
  • Added "Region", as replacement for "State"
  • Changed "Skype" to "Skype ID"
  • Removed "Comment"
