Can you just allow arbitrary URLs? I might want to link to future social
networks or something.

If someone has a URL with a known domain, you can display an icon next to
it.

Inspiration - Mozillians Profile.
Also, an idea that @sskhandek had earlier today - Scrape the ACM GitHub to add each member's contributions to their profile (possibly upon approval).
Side effect - gamifying involvement in ACM Projects -> Meaningful contributions from a member will boost that member's SEO.
RE Gamifying - this is a cool idea; maybe we want badges to go with it?
Also this is either a good idea or a really stupid one: should we include these badges on the resume book/let recruiters filter by them? (adds extra incentive to work on projects and is a one click "who has activity level XYZ" for recruiters, but people could chase badges for the wrong reasons)
@modi95 Displaying their contributions doesn't require scraping, just some clever use of the GitHub API. :D
@tyler-thetyrant please move this to groot-users
@sameetandpotatoes is this something you can look at adding?
