[Marketing] suggestion to add orcid link to osgeo.org member page

Hello and happy new year.

suggested by Peter Loewe I would like to discuss whether we can add the ability to add the ORCID-link to the member profile

I created a ticket. See:

I don’t see any negatives in showing an ORCID.

The change I see is adding a new ORCID item to the ’social media icons’ dropdown on the user profile page, since a freeform ORCID address can already be added.

Is that a hard change, or an easy change?

…relatedly but off-topic, does OSGeo.org use a child theme structure or custom theme such that bespoke changes survive wordpress updates?

Cheers

Adam

Our theme is in git.osgeo.org as a private www_osgeo repository. Join the system admin committee if you would like to work on fixes and enhancements :slight_smile:

The issue tracker for website theme enhancements is trac.osgeo.org (there are some open issues already)

We have a test instance where changes can be checked before being rolled
out the main site. Vicky and Regina (SAC) can help out with testing the
idea.

Thanks,
