Plan for Avatar Kit 2.0

[dpi]

Avatar kit is a module used for community building. It adds personality to content, allowing viewers to easily associate content with a person visually.

--

• Release a 1.0
• Attempt to keep generator plugins as compatible as possible with 1.0
• Clean up the core of the module.
  • Simplify API
  • Make it easier to debug, current nesting is undesirable
• Add full tests.
• Simplify administration interface.
• Add the ability to use entities other than 'user'
• Add the ability to grab and cache avatars without the entity system. Such as using in comments, or headless Drupal.
• Migration from Drupal user image to avatar kit field.
• Investigate Compatibility with D8 core media and its fields.

Development work for Avatar Kit 2.0 has begun. Starting with the development of a generic PHP avatar library at https://github.com/dpi/ak, also named Avatar Kit.

Individual services are planned to be developed separately, such as https://github.com/dpi/ak_gravatar

The current plan is to start mostly from scratch for the Avatar Kit Drupal project.
