Also, now 10 random profiles will be displayed on the homepage. Only "verified users" will be displayed here. I'm also considering adding a new status as well: real picture, so that only people with real images (not cartoons, not identicons) can show up on the homepage. I think this might give a more professional feel. Thoughts?

I'd be weary of making that a requirement, there are good reasons for not putting your picture on the web, just like there are good reasons to not use your real name :-)

... just like there are good reasons not to publish yourself in a public catalogue (such as haskellers.com) at all. I have nothing against anonymity. I voted against requirement of real names on hackage. But in this particular case, the whole point to be in the listing is to present yourself. So I find the above proposal very reasonable. -- Roman I. Cheplyaka :: http://ro-che.info/ "Don't let school get in the way of your education." - Mark Twain
