Fernando had recommended something like this a while back. In fact,
it was actually the subject of a poll question (you can see the
results of all past polls from the polling pages).

The concept was to have a short autobiography and then a photo.
Of course, this was to be voluntary. The vote was sort of luke warm,
and then we found 300 other projects that needed to be done here
at ICD/Your Move so we let go of the idea.

I personally like it, and I think it would be nice if new members
could click on, for instance, Bob Hyatt's name, and see who he is and
what he has done. We tend to forget that lots of members have not been
hanging around for years and may not know who the programmers and
other members are.

Based upon Fernando's idea, I put up a little 1999 New Year's greeting
with a picture of my family at http://www.icdchess.com/steve.jpg  Despite
the overwhelming ugliness of the group, it received positive feedback.
