Thirdly, I hate the automated redirect to https://orcid.org/
Fourthly, I think that there are a whole lot of reasonably well aligned places you could link to.
#Wikidata/@wdscholia@wikis.world #OpenAlex #Crossref #Datacite etc all have things that can be done with an ORCID. There are probably a lot more that I don't know about.
Think about this in terms of growing a community of services that integrate ORCID.
OpenAlex ist eine ziemlich spannende offene Suchmaschine f眉r wissenschaftliche Publikationen, mit 眉berraschend guter Abdeckung deutscher juristischer Zeitschriften, Datens盲tzen (ja, ich bin wohl komplett dort vertreten) und #OpenAccess Publikationen.
Definitiv einen Test wert!

馃殌 Mieux valoriser la recherche 脿 l鈥橴niversit茅 de Lorraine gr芒ce 脿 #OpenAlex
Entre f茅vrier et juillet 2025, l鈥櫭﹒uipe Bibliom茅trie de l鈥橴niversit茅 de Lorraine a men茅 un vaste chantier d鈥檃lignement des publications scientifiques dans la base ouverte OpenAlex. R茅sultat : un r茅f茅rencement enrichi, plus juste et mieux rattach茅 aux laboratoires.
馃攷 Pourquoi ce choix ?
Jusqu鈥檌ci, le Web of Science servait de r茅f茅rence. Mais OpenAlex offre une couverture bien plus large et inclusive, en particulier pour les disciplines SHS et les publications non anglophones. Entre 2023 et 2025, environ 10 800 articles sont recens茅s dans OpenAlex contre 7 700 dans WoS.
馃搶 Ce travail s鈥檌nscrit dans la strat茅gie de transformation de l鈥櫭﹙aluation de la recherche port茅e par l鈥橴niversit茅 de Lorraine et annonc茅e en 2024 par sa Pr茅sidente, H茅l猫ne Boulanger, et son Vice-pr茅sident en charge du num茅rique, des donn茅es et de la science ouverte, @fresseng

路 La formation des doctorants via le programme 芦 Domptez la Doc 禄

馃搱 Concr猫tement, chaque laboratoire a gagn茅 en moyenne +240 publications visibles dans OpenAlex. Et ce n鈥檈st qu鈥檜n d茅but : d猫s la rentr茅e 2025, les biblioth茅caires du r茅seau appui recherche poursuivront ce travail pour un suivi continu.

As we integrate #OpenAlex data into the #Bonfire#OpenScience flavor, we're displaying familiar metrics: works count, citations, h-index, research topics, institutional affiliations...
These might be exactly what you need, or perhaps just a starting point.
What additional information would help you find collaborators or understand someone's work better?
We're opening this design process to the open science community. Share what works, what doesn't, what's missing.

Will there be a possibility to migrate from a Mastodon account to Bonfire, or OSN, as it is possible between Mastodon instances ?
It might be needed to lower the migration barrier and foster Bonfire OSN uptake.
Of course, it comes along with the possibility to migrate between Bonfire, or OSN, instances as smoothly as possible.
Any plans of thoughts on that ?
This explicitly says: "We discuss views and claims based on the evidence and the quality of arguments, not based on the status of the people making the claim, nor their personal characteristics or their academic rank."
This is the atmosphere I'd like to see at a campfire. Maybe more aspects of that CoC are inspiring for an academic Bonfire.

I would find this helpful:
1. The most recent publication/preprint of a member (as a first author, or also as coauthor?)
2. The most cited publication
3. Affiliation history: Maybe we have a common university in our history?
If your computing resources and the framework allow dyadic information (i.e., how do I relate to every member in the community):
3. What is my coauthor network distance? (I.e., how many hops do you need). If <=3, show the link.
4. What is the publication of that member that is closest to my own works? (e.g., based on embedding dimensions of title and abstract)
That is information that would foster a substantive discourse.
