BuddyPress.org

Sounds very promising.

Pity it seems to be dead https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-members-avatar-map/

Even developer’s website seems dead http://web-world.co.il/

@hnla Could you possibly consider […]

Trac can have a relatively narrow discussion. Forums have a larger audience and greater participation.

Besides I can;t log into trac for some reason.

Yup, would be good if BP developers pick one of these and merge it into the core.

Photos can’t be an afterthought. Media is a part of even the WP core.

@mercime Spot on! This is clear from

@qrahaman Actually, on the ticket the developers have indicated that technical implementation is rather simple. The issue is making a decision on whether this is something they want to do.

`Consider this: what […]

@modemlooper I didn’t say this should be required. I said this should be available,. Both Facebook and Twitter have this available.

@djpaul

What I have in mind is at top level 4 groups:
– England
– Wales
– Scotland
– Ireland

Then within […]

Profile photo is pretty standard on everything though – from social networking sites to other kinds of sites…

@djpaul Still unable to log into Trac https://buddypress.org/community/groups/miscellaneous/forum/topic/login-trouble-in-bp-trac/

@boonebgorges @djpaul In that case, any other ideas or plans for hierarchical groups, the way there are hierarchical pages in WordPress?
