Add the ability to provide some links (to homeage / homesite / personal website, GitHub, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) on user pages #5145

Open shlomif opened 5 years ago

shlomif commented 5 years ago

What's the problem this feature will solve? Currently the personal info in PyPI user pages such as https://pypi.org/user/shlomif-gmail/ is very bare in comparison to metacpan user pages such as https://metacpan.org/author/SHLOMIF which have a link to one's website, GitHub/Twitter/etc. profiles and more (see the left part of the page there).

Describe the solution you'd like

Add an ability to edit and add such links.

Additional context

There is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOAF_(ontology) which we may be able to use. I started implementing the feature here but ran into some problems and was told to file an issue here first for getting comments.

I think this is worth doing, especially for a "personal website".

It'd be nice if we could find a way to add new social media profiles without requiring a DB migration to add a new column.

It's also probably important to note that we should be very clear that this information will be displayed on the user's public profile page.

Any other comments or can we carry forward with implementing it?

I want to start working on this.

Regarding:

It'd be nice if we could find a way to add new social media profiles without requiring a DB migration to add a new column.

Are users free in what they can add or does it need to be a fixed set of profiles you can link (e.g. GitHub, LinkedIn, Personal website, Stackoverflow)?

We can also start with a simpler, less dynamic, implementation and add a website_url attribute to the user. The user can then fill this with a link to his website. Later we can migrate this to a more dynamic setup where you can add more social profiles.
