gAuthor 0.7.2
Joomla! 1.5 native plug-in extension
Converts the author title to a link to an article on a specified section
and shows the list of the author's articles and contact page on the article.
1. specify a section on the plug-in parameters page (and enable the plug-in!)
2. add an article on the section with the author name as title of the article and author username as title alias of the article.
3. on any article, add the specified title alias on author alias (with "ga=" prefix)
or just leave it (to use the current author username.)
4. or if the author (like Hemingway) has not been registered yet!, you can fill author alias with ga=hemingway and add an article on the author's section with hemingway on title alias.
5. also you can use comma separated usernames or "&t" and/or "&e" suffix for "translated by" and "edited by" on usernames.
like : "ga=admin,carlos&t,linda&e"

Temporarily Issue With J! 1.5.10 to 1.5.14
A change on handling author_alias on J! 1.5.10 to J! 1.5.14
causes the problem with gAuthor.
use this patch (just extract to main root of joomla)
Hope on J! 1.5.15 everything will be OK!
Based on the idea of BK Author Link and CB AuthorBot plug-ins.
