Show core team information in about command

Open ltegman opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

We would like the about command to list whether a user is a part of the core team and potentially how long they have been a member for. I'm working with @QuincyLarson to make this a part of the FCC user information and API, but wanted to get this issue up for tracking.

We want an annual distinction: "Core Team 2016" This way if core team contributors no longer have time to contribute, we don't need to go through the process of removing them from the core team. This will also be a way recognizing continued effort.

Currently, when I run

about @ltegman 

I get:

  320 | @ltegman |http://www.freecodecamp.com/ltegman

Instead, we would get something like:

  320 | @ltegman | http://www.freecodecamp.com/ltegman | Core team 2015, 2016

In order to achieve this, I recommend we create an array on the user object and on the Free Code Camp user records themselves:

"yearsCoreTeam": ["2015", "2016"]

Then we check that with CamperBot.

We would also add badges to core team contributors' Free Code Camp profiles.

Another goal is to get core team members interacting more regularly with contributors. We could move the core team gitter discussion to the new contributors room so that all contributors would benefit from these discussions and our core team would appear more approachable. This goes hand-in-hand with our goal of making Free Code Camp a flat organization.

That is a great idea!
