That's something I've wanted for the Community Blog for a while too. I 
like having the biography boxes at the bottom, as it adds a little 
character to the article by knowing who exactly it is that wrote an article.

I filed an issue for this in the Community Blog theme repo on Pagure.

You can find some of the other filed issues currently pending review in 
the repo as well. Ryan mentioned a while ago that filing issues against 
the them in Pagure was the best way for him to keep on track of problems 
or suggestions in the theme.

As for using names versus nicks, that's a field that is specified by the 
author in their WordPress profile (i.e. they choose whether they want to 
be displayed as nick or Real Name). It would be nice to have it default 
to Real Name versus nick like it does now, so if someone doesn't change 
their profile, it will just show their name instead.

In regards to what Woo said on the Marketing list, it might be difficult 
to pull this from a wiki page or other location in Fedora... what 
happens on the Magazine is this information is sourced from whatever 
biography the user has set in their Magazine profile.

I like the idea of encouraging this for new authors in the Community 
Blog too if we could have a biography box added.
