do i have to use the gravatar system for profile images?

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application - 'django-avatar', no pip install or easy_install option is not available yet (there is one, but it is outdated).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
