maybe not all users are familiar with the gravatar - can the system have users uupload their own profile photos?
Done, supports uploaded avatars now.
However, the feature uses development version of django application - 'django-avatar', no pip install or easy_install option is not available yet (there is one, but it is outdated).
Please, install the app from the repository:
git clone git://github.com/ericflo/django-avatar.git
cd django-avatar
python setup.py install
Add 'avatar' to the list of INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py,
Configure MEDIA_ROOT and MEDIA_URL to serve the avatars correctly, and run:
python manage.py syncdb
Once the app is updated on the PYPI (python package index), it will be easier to install.
Could you post an issue on his github (https://github.com/ericflo/django-avatar/issues) and ask him to update pypi? I would do it, but I think you have more clout as the maintainer of ASKBOT. You also better understand why the bleeding edge version is necessary
