Social status on `Person` model #19

Closed XanderVertegaal closed 7 months ago

XanderVertegaal commented 8 months ago

I am not sure how to implement the requested 'Social status' field on the Person model. We could use relative markers such as 'high'/'middle'/'low', but that feels too modern and not very insightful.

Presumably, social classes such as 'nobility', 'clergy', 'peasantry' are meant, but we should ask whether a fixed list will suffice or whether this is something they want to have control over.

I was wondering about this too. I expect we'll end up with a few categories like you suggest, that won't be changed on the fly, so it will be easier to hard-code them.

Occupation is to be renamed to Status and should indicate more than just a person's job.
