Goals

  • Allow selecting the a picture for a user account:
    • Profile pictures from online accounts
    • Take a picture using the camera
    • Pick from a set of nice stock images (primarily of use when there aren't online accounts and/or there's no camera)
  • Potential uses - user settings, initial setup, Contacts
  • Ensure that users don't end up with a generic default profile picture - generate a unique image for each user and use that as a fallback
