Let people upload their own imagesServe the images
For now, I decided to go with libravatar, an open source gravatar clone. They allow you to upload your own images and tie them to email ids. Setting an avatar is very simple, just involves choosing a username+password and verifying your email address. On our end, we just has the user's email address and append it to a base url to get their avatar. In case they haven't registered, I've set up gravatar style 'identicons' as a fallback.
Implement avatars in User(fb8d05d)
Tell people how they can set one
Okay, back to letting people upload their own
[x] Basic functionality
[x] Handle people trying to upload random shit
[x] Set a filesize limit
[x] Figure out sizes - do we just resize at upload time, and use one size fits all? Save multiple sizes?
