Next steps with the profiles

[AlainRossier]

Urgent

• Check that UI is clean and robust to all kinds of profiles (background pics?)
• Add 'help' to guide the user (2h)
• Create empty profile for all existing users
• Test backend edge cases
• Make it work on mobile (4h)

Key features

• Make a button "Publish an annoucement". If not profile -> title, abstract, link, then create account. If profile, redirect to profile page. (3h)
• Ability to contact speakers button -> integrate in the profiles (Remy, 2h)
• "Presentations" tap: have a place to list your potential seminars (title, abstract, est. time, slides?) -> Flagged for a limited amount of time (30 days?) (2h)
• Improve the "give a talk" button on agoras: apply directly with a presentation (3h)

Would be nice

• Fetch papers from google scholar
• Import Twitter feed in profile
• Verified academic: check the email address and send a confirmation link to confirm ownership
• Ability to follow individuals

Trivial things, but

a) When someone stores their Google Scholar links, add the hl=en parameter at the end ( to make sure that the english language version is stored) or just remove the hl parameter at the end completely ( furl makes it simple)

b) Use the following code to get the image from a google scholar profile

import requests
from furl import furl

def getImageFromGoogleScholar(username: str, gslink: str):

    f = furl(gslink)
    f.set(
        host = 'scholar.googleusercontent.com', 
         path = 'citations'
    ).add(
        {"view_op": 'medium_photo'}
    ).url

    response = requests.get(f.url)

    file = open(f"{username}_profile.png", "wb")
    file.write(response.content)
    file.close()

getImageFromGoogleScholar("Remy", "https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=kgggI14AAAAJ")

c) There is the scholarly package for interfacing with google scholar ( I looked at it and it seems very easy to use, returning all the information like publication,domain,profile_picture in the form of a dict), however they recommend using proxies for large number of requests.
