Simple Who's Who page

[simensen]

I'd love to have a simple Who's Who page so we can keep track of everyone. Right now it is a mix of Reddit names, IRC names and First names from Google Groups. I know we have a feature request for Mini Profiles #4 but this would be just a simple static HTML page ( maybe /who.html ) that we can manage manually for the time being.

I'm happy to work on this myself if we all agree this makes sense.

I think this is a good idea. Just keep it simple :)

[TheDahv]

Yeah, I agree this is a good idea.
Do you suppose it would make more sense to call it "people" (so, /people.html)?

My thinking here is that this should grow up to be the profiles feature, and I'd like it to be easily replaced. This way, the names and language associated with people stays the same as the feature changes.

[TheDahv]

What 'fields' are going into this feature? I request GH profile link.

[simensen]

[simensen] what information do we want on our profiles? i'd ask the list, but what i want to ask the list is for their information.
[simensen] github link(s), twitter, reddit, irc name, full name
[smoak] just keep it simple for now
[smoak] eventually we will expand it when we get to the next site iteration
[smoak] so full name, irc handle, and maybe twitter

[TheDahv] I like the idea of linking to a GH profile, personally
[TheDahv] Since we're all about coding and all
[TheDahv] If somebody is brand new to b&&c and sees "oh there are some people here. and here's some info about them"
[TheDahv] I think it looks legit to link to some actual code. Plus people can easily pick up what each person likes to work on and potential projects to contribute to

[smoak] i just think we shouldnt do it for now since we will be redoing the profile things with the newer site
[smoak] i mean youll be doing most of the work simensen, so if you want to go for it i wont stop you
[simensen] i'll request github profile information as well. it wont' add a whole lot of extra time.

Did you guys get an email when this commit happened? Anyway, People is in now. Yay. First pass, super simple, hopefully what we need.

[TheDahv]

I just got this email. Pulling and reviewing now.

[simensen]

I ordered them by first name. I would have done last name first, but we don't have last names for everybody. Not sure if it matters but the end result put me on the top of the list and that made me feel a little dirty.

:)

[TheDahv]

Hahaha, you're ok. You did write the page...

Hey, I took a look at the people's feature and it looks great! I also read through that code...good job Beau! That looks like a lot of tedious typing.

As I was checking it out, the list of names kind of reminded me of business cards. I played with the CSS and got this. What do you guys think? Do you like it?

[simensen]

That looks cool. I'd say go for it.

I wrote a PHP script to create that. :) I didn't commit that because it had people's email addresses (raw) and we had at least one request not to share those.

[TheDahv]

Sweet. I'm also changing the anchor targets to "_blank." I will put that
into a different commit in case somebody feels strongly the other way and
wants to revert the change, but I hate when links change the page within the
window.

With that being said, I think we're close to done. I'll give a few minutes
to allow for objections, but I'm going to send this to Dustin soon
otherwise.

I've found that I prefer to right click "open link in new tab" if I want something to open in a new window/tab. I know it is pretty common though. So I'd say go for it.

(I had actually considered doing that myself until I remembered I don't like it when pages do that. :) so it is great that you bring it up now... probably a sign i should have just added it to begin with.)
