As far as the profile requirement, it does
require you to "upgrade" your
google account to a google plus account. Most of us have google accounts
through our
wikimedia.org google mail and the required pieces of
information for a google plus "upgrade" are gender and birthday, and those
aren't shared.
Actually, the vast majority of people on this list are not staff
and so can't be assumed to have a Google account.
Also, IMHO, the "upgrade" is not so trivial. Some people just don't
want G+. period. (of course I have no numbers on how many people feel
that way)
I haven't made up my mind about G+ yet but haven't upgraded either.
The one and only time I ever did a hangout was a training with Sumana
et al. and I created a new, disposable google account just for that
one use and never used it for anything else.
