These profile fields need to be migrated to profile fields:
Languages spokenMy website (now "Website(s)")Interests (not migrated, and changed visibility to hidden)GenderCountryBioIRC nick
Other fields in the Personal information category are covered by #2274717: Optionally offer a display name instead of "first last (user)" on user pages?, #2322265: Migrate First & Last name profile fields, and #2305745: Migrate Social Links on Profiles to Fields UI.
Formatting changes
My Website changes to "Website(s)"
Allow the user to add multiple websites, as many people have a standard website and a blog.
Updates to "Bio" field
represent as text area. Would prefer to have this as 140-250 characters, if possible. Help text: "Please include a short blurb about yourself to let us know who you are outside of Drupal."
Display underneath user picture on user profile, per prototype.
"Interests" will not be migrated
To help streamline information on the profile and to avoid migrating what is predominantly spam in the database.
Link "IRC Nick" field to https://www.drupal.org/irc
To help people know what IRC is.

tvn CreditAttribution: tvn commentedThe country field needs to be included in Bakery sync and made not required. Currently it is required and when a person does not want to enter this information we can see ugly on their user profile.

webchickI was asked by Dries to gather some aggregate stats on European d.o users for his keynote, and it required writing a query with a where clause like this: https://gist.github.com/webchickenator/22977b2fe2a4d5870c25
So when we migrate over Country, perhaps we could consider a "region" or "continent" or whatever grouping to make this easier going forward.

Shyamala CreditAttribution: Shyamala commentedRegion or continent should be auto picked up based on the country chosen by the user.
in fact the location information captured should be at the city level. Will be easy for users to identify other users in the same city etc. Could we considered using geonames integration for the same?

drummI've deployed opdavies's commits on 7.x-3.x, migrating Bio, IRC, and Websites.
Comment #29
drummThe country field is now migrated.
Comment #31
drummGender is now migrated.
Comment #33
drummThe gender field wasn't editable since the migration. This was because it was too-aggressively hidden for the synced field on subsites.
I also changed the 'N/A' option to 'Prefer not to share'. (It was 'None' in the old profile field.)
(The options for gender are migration from what we had before. If we need more to be inclusive, and we do want to be inclusive, please file a separate issue in this queue.)
Comment #34
webchickThat sounds like a good change to make. The original options were hashed out in this highly explosive issue #752452: Expand options in the "Gender" profile field so just a fair warning that trying to change them further might be tricky.

YesCT CreditAttribution: YesCT commentedprefer not to say is recommended in #1354764: Provide accurate, inclusive, and respectful options for the Drupal.org gender field so seems good, at least in part.
Comment #44
drummThe latest commits get the last two fields for this issue.
Comment #45
drummNow deployed.

drummRe-opening for #2370583: Test Mollom on Drupal.org, which affected the interests field.

joshuamiBased on the quality of the data in the interests field, we are not going to be migrating this field at this time. We have significantly more spam than legitimate content in that field, so we are going to evaluate whether we want to create a new field for interests going forward—likely tied to curated topics—or just encourage users to include these keywords in their bio. We have changed the visibility of the interests field to hidden.
