Something the Community Architecture folks and I have discovered is that
when we sign up new folks for an account, there's not any way to mark
them for follow up or to indicate a note for where they did it. A
couple methods for doing this come to mind:
1. Simple but effective -- a way to tag account holders arbitrarily.
This might help with a number of things, like skill sets, karma, and so
forth. In this case, the tag would allow Ambassadors to follow up on
particular shows by listing everyone with "FooCon 2008" in their tag
list.
We could possibly do this by using the 'myfedora' application
namespace that already exists in the FAS person config model. Each user
in the db can have a list of configs for a variety of different apps
(currently hardcoded to asterisk, moin, myfedora, and openid).
For MyFedora we were thinking about storing various widget settings in
this field, but the namespace has not yet been decided on.
I'm not familiar with the FAS codebase, but we may be able to do
something like this::
from fas.model import Person, Configs
Person.configs.append(
Configs(application='myfedora',
value="{
'tags' : ['FUDCon2008Boston'],
'skills': ['python', 'c++',
'trolling'],
'karma' : -8,
}"))
