Add a photo to the bio section

[michaeldk]

As much as it said that physical appearances shouldn't influence a resume, I believe the choice should be left to the user whether or not he wants to use a photo in his resume.

[thomasdavis]

Agreed. Some templates might choose to use gravatar for photos, though the specification could contain an alternative field

[borgateo]

+1
Optional photo would be a good addition.

[ocram]

+1, has been suggested again here and this is a possible solution

[osg]

+1 for optional.

[DonDebonair]

+1 for optional.

[thomasdavis]

Need need some suggestions for the field name.

• picture
• profilePicture
• pictureUrl
• avatar
• mugshot
• selfie

[osg]

+1 profilePicture

-1 for avatar, mugshot, and selfie

[osg]

Rationale: If I use a picture of myself, it is not an avatar. Mugshot and selfie reduce the level of professionalism, and are not as easily understood by multiple language backgrounds/cultures.

[DonDebonair]

In #80 "pictureUrl" is used, but I think that's superfluous. As far as I know, there's not other way to provide a picture in a JSON document, than specifying an URL to a picture (aside maybe from a base64 encoded data-url?). So the best options in my opinion are "profilePicture" or just "picture".
I assume your last two suggestions are more in jest @thomasdavis ;) And "avatar" signifies a small picture to be used on a forum or other online community, not a real photo.

I'm sad to see no consensus on selfie =(

My vote goes to picture, I like to think the spec can get away with being
casual in that sense.

Experimenting with a new label called "Decision Needed", this issue has it applied. It means we will be passing something through in the very near future.

[ocram]

picture is definitely the best name. Updated the pull request as well.

Optional, of course. But we don't have marked optional and required fields yet, anyway, right?

[osg]

The only case where picture is not specific enough (and profilePicture might be) is if there is more than one picture on a resume. (I cannot think of such an instance, can you?)

Note: Specs in general are not casual; content based on specs has more flexibility in that regard.

[DonDebonair]

I cannot think of more picture occurrences in resumes.

[ocram]

Can't think of such an instance, either. Many people will not even have a single picture, and I've never seen a resume with two pictures. That should be fine.

[thomasdavis]

Okay, I think picture will suffice for now. Last comments end in 30mins then I will mark this as ready.

The picture field will be added to the bio field as type string

string is a primitive type of JSON schema, I'm still learning more about JSON schema as time goes on so we will adhere to just using string until I know all the repercussions of using type url

[DonDebonair]

I do think we should choose between string and url before v1 is released :) I'd love to make a PR for this one, but I promised my wife we'd leave for the beach in 5 minutes. So I'm off until further notice ;)

[thomasdavis]

Sure, we will do another PR at a later date that corrects all the types.
Shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Is this still working? (seems so) #80

[DonDebonair]

I think we can close this as #80 fixes this.
