Where list

[k-stewart]

In order to keep track of where people are and how much unpaid time they've taken, we want to create a web interface for the where emails. Eventually, we will populate the wherepages from emails sent to where@eff.org as well as information sent through a Mattermost slash command.

Scenario: User can see everyone's most recent location through the internet Given Max and Lena have set their where When I visit https://fab.eff.org/where Then I should see Max and Lena's most recent where

Scenario: User can see someone's historical wheres through the internet Given Max has 5 wheres When I visit https://fab.eff.org/where/max Then I should see all 5 wheres

Scenario: User can get a report of PTO Given Lena has set her where as "sick" three times And I visit https://fab.eff.org/where/reports And I select "Lena" and "Sick" Then I should see three sick days with their associated dates

Scenario: User can retrieve status through Mattermost Given Max created a where at 3pm on Tuesday with the body "WFL" When Lena types /whereis Max in Mattermost Then Mattermost should return "Max's last location was "WFL" at 3pm on 2/20/2018"

Scenario: User sets location through Mattermost When Max types /where WFL at 3pm on Tuesday Then where@eff.org receives an email from wherebot@eff.org with subject "Max is WFL at 3pm on Tuesday"

Notes from the meeting with Barak, Lena, Luis, Kai and Max:

• like FAB, only visble on VPN
• need to quickly scan to see multiple people
• issues this might solve:
  • if something happens, are you onsite? do you need rescue?
  • if someone calls, a fast way to check if someone is available
  • accounting needs to track vacay and sick days
• who needs access:
  • Press
  • activism
  • not Barak
  • Ops
  • finance
  • HR
  • legal?
• list people with status | in | out | don't know |
• /whereis team

• Questions:
  • Who can see what? - answer: everyone on VPN can see everything, same as the where emails today
  • How long do we keep info? - answer: forever, for now
  • when does /where send email? If someone sends email and also uses /where, that would be too many emails. Similarly, if /where is so easy to use that people start sending a lot more of them, that would be too many emails.

Mattermost integration: /where PTO this week - sets the typer's where /whereis username - get a specific person's most recent where

• create an endpoint that pulls messages from where@eff.org sorts them by name and then descending date ** returns the name and message

Yup! This exists now!
