I made a recommendation for something like this for/on the wiki back  
when the space opened, as I have an extremely hard time attaching  
names to faces. The general response was most members wouldn't want a  
photo of their face associated with whatever name they planed to use  
for the space. What came out of that was "if you feel like putting a  
photo of yourself on the wiki, you're welcome to do so." I'm still  
waiting for external image linking to be enabled on the wiki.
