I am still working on my NS install and things are going well. Still have not figured out the pagination issue, but that aside, I am working with some test content and the one thing that I noticed is that when you create a contributor, I expected that when I assigned this contributor to the story I expected the following actions:
1) When you click on the contributor's name, I would have expected the bio and picture come up. There is no linking, which I found odd since Prose Point was able to do that.
2) I would have also liked a list of article to appear below the bio.
I would not want to create a new taxonomy for each user, that would become way too cumbersome. I also created a "writer" user to see if that works, but nope. I also looked in the NS Contributor setup and didn't see anything in there to indicate that I needed to "flip a switch" somewhere to make it work.
What did I miss? Was this designed to work in this way?

We did not design a landing
We did not design a landing page for contributors, and that's why they are not linked to their node pages. It is a really good idea though, and we might be able to add something like this in the NodeStream 2 release.
You could add support for this yourself pretty easily by changing the contributor view, ns_article_byline under admin/build/views, and change the title field to link to it's node. That will make all bylines link to their nodes.
The next step would be to add a page in page manager. Go to admin/build/pages/edit/node_view, and add a new variant. Add a selection rule that makes the variant active for contributor node types, and you should be able to put whatever you want to have on the contributor node page.

I will try your suggestion
I will try your suggestion and get back to you. Thanks,
Success!
That worked! Quick and simple. As a suggestion, that might be something to add in the documentation. Also as a suggestion, it would be a help to also add a link to show "stories from this contributors" link as well.
