This extension adds an option to each user's page to change their profile image. In the footer of the page, under "User settings", users can see their current profile image and link "Change profile picture". Clicking on this link opens a dialog offering several options for setting profile image:

• New image can be uploaded
• Image already uploaded to the wiki, or an image from the web (through URL) can be used
• New avatar can  be generated

  • Identicon - not random, represent a visual value of a user's IP address
