Yep - good discussion with @asimong
As I understand it we’re going to be in a joint hack team which will be about “how do we expose the people (and their skills and experience) to potential clients and collaborators?”
It will include a skills mapping session (see here CoTech skills mapping session at the gathering) run by @asimong and @jdaviescoates.
I will be wireframing (and maybe prototyping) how the feature would appear on the site (e.g. a skill search, featured people, a listing on the relevant co-ops page, etc).
It’s worth noting that there is already a proof of concept skills listing if you are logged into WordPress (e.g. login to https://www.coops.tech/wp/wp-admin/ and then visit e.g. Outlandish « CoTech « Cooperative Technologists). You’ll get a table that looks like this at the bottom:
It’s obviously not supposed to look like that - it was just a hack I did to show that the data is there and can be displayed.
If everyone can enter their members and their relevant experience before the hack that would be a great help. No doubt it will need refinement, but it will help our hack team work out what we’re doing.
