1604038 - Use unique avatars for users without a Gravatar

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Pontoon, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Matjaz Horvat [:mathjazz]]

Pontoon uses the same avatar for all users who don't have a Gravatar assigned to their email address:
https://github.com/mozilla/pontoon/blob/9a58c71/pontoon/base/models.py#L101

It's an image of a red panda, which gets confusing when multiple users without gravatars are shown at the same time (e.g. in the History panel or Contributors page).

We should instead use unique avatars, e.g. avatars with initials from names.

This should be very easy to do. Matjaž, do you want to include this to the mentored list, or is it some high priority?

mathjazz actually I was solving this issue
the thing I just want to confirm is actually I am doing some changes as per given issue but and I am trying to see my changes on local host but
I am not able to see it as on my localhost there was no history and contributors list is showing , it was empty so how Can I check whether red panda thing is still there or the gravatar we want is implemented there?

akshjain.jain74, you can just submit a translation and then you should have an item in History.

You will also need to drop the if not settings.DEBUG in user_gravatar_url().

Hey Matjaz, I'd love to give it a try if no one else is working at the moment.
akshjain.jain74, are you still working on this?
