Looking in the people.post.json.js webscript it seems we don't read all the parameters.

Please feel free to raise an enhancement request in JIRA.

Thanks,
Mike

My problem on the add. (rtfm)
on reading again it states on the post username, first, last, email and password.

but on the put it should allow all. I will open one.

So dumb question where is people.post.json.js ?

Found people.post.json.js in alfresco\classes\alfresco\templates\org\alfresco\respository\person

I added


   var enableAccount = ((json.has("disableAccount") && json.get("disableAccount")) == false);
   if (json.has("enabled")) {
       if (json.get("enabled") == false){
           enableAccount = false;
       }
   }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

at about line 38

and I added at about 56


   if (json.has("skype"))
   {
      person.properties["skype"] = json.get("skype");
   }

works like a champ. one question is there a way to extend the alfresco library like the share library without doing it inside the war file ?

Yes, but use shared/classes/alfresco/extension instead of web-extension.

Edit: Not quite. It would be
