Hey guys,

Great job on the neat server! I was curious how I could get all of my
author info populated though. It doesn't have anything except for my
email.

Well in the future, we plan to have some sort of interface or method to
update that info through the API.

However we of course haven't implemented that as of yet hehe.

In the meantime we do have a stop-gap solution though. If you fork the API
repo on github, you can see there is an author.json file in the conf folder.
Just add your info to that and send us a pull request and we'll get your
info updated.

The OALDERS entry shows all the keys that are currently available. If you
have any suggestions as to other fields that might be useful go ahead and
add them as well. Those were just the ones we thought of off the top of our
heads.

We're using this method at the moment until we have a better interface as at
least we have a bit of a guarantee as to the person is on the other end.
