Hey, gravatar.com is a service that allows you to get a little avatar of a user by passing its email address in an api call. Gitweb supports gravatar, which is disabled by default You can see an example for the use on fedorahosted: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=rhq/rhq.git;a=summary and http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=rhq/rhq.git;a=commit;h=56faefbcf1465a45df... Enabling gravatar allows to better give the community of contributors a face. On ovirt.org, gitweb is handled by the gerrit application (and not standalone). To enable it one needs to put a gitweb config file into /home/gerrit2/review_site/etc/ as gitweb.perl and then restart gerrit (see http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/Documentation/config-gitweb.html#_internal_manag... ) When would be a good point to do the latter?

weekend i guess, though i think if gerrit is down for a few minutes any time of the day it should be ok as well. my main concern is this should be documented to verify after a gerrit upgrade.
