 Replying to [comment:5 modemlooper]:

 i kind of "not agree at 100%" with :
 > As much as this is a nice feature on some sites, I don't think it should
 be a core thing. This should be for themes only. and this seems a step
 back before template compatibility

 Earlier you've said you built 2 plugins to do so ? So it's a theme feature
 that you packaged into plugins ?

 I really think we should include something in core about this feature but
 do it the right way. If this is a theme feature, then we can rely on
 something like `add_theme_support(  'buddypress_single_item_header'  );`
 to leave the choice to the theme to support or not the feature.

 As @johnjamesjacoby said : then, we should provide an API that is easy for
 theme designers to use and customize. From the bp-legacy template pack
 we'll then be able to show how to use this API (dimensions...).
 btw guess who's coming to BuddyCamp Brighton :
 https://brighton.buddycamp.org/2015/speakers/ :) I'll try to talk with
 Michael about it!

 My main concern is more on how to organize the BuddyPress uploads. Because
 so far we're creating a specific folder for each feature directly under
 `uploads` e.g.: `group-avatars`
 I think we should begin to think about the best way to organize this
 part.. For instance:
 {{{
 uploads/
   buddypress/
     members/
       1/
         avatar/
         cover/
         2015/
            07/
     groups/
       3/
         avatar/
         cover/
         2015/
            06/
 }}}
 etc..
