people pages - What "username" is meant?

[Strit]

In the contents/people/*.md pages there's a field simply called username.

There is no indication of what platform the username is for. Is it Mumble, Matrix, IRC?

So maybe we can change the field name into a specific name, like mumble_username?

[Strit]

Looking at the code in show-scraper, it looks like it might just be an entity to link people to shows and not actually a username of any kind.

Am I understanding it correctly?

[kbondarev]

It is just a unique ID of each person, that is also used the URL slug.

I guess slug, person_slug, or GUID would've been a better name for this parameter

[kbondarev]

Speaking of, I noticed that it is on the frontend as "@username" under the full name of the arch guest/host. Probably shouldn't be displayed there like that, as it might make ppl think it's an username on social media (like twitter or Instagram)

[Strit]

Yeah, that's why I got confused when I saw my "username", but I have no social media with that handle.

I definitely think we could change they key name for v2 of the JB.com, but till then we can just remove the @username reference in the guest/host template (IIRC, one of them should just be a symlink to the other after my PR that merged for #110)

What is the output of the scraper for this field?

So looking at this we can probably call it whatever we want.

person_uuid might be adequate?

[elreydetoda]

Ya, the only snag is that if we change it in the scraper then we need to update it every place it's referenced in the main JB site as well. So, that's why I was suggesting the v2 release instead of changing something so vital this close to us trying to do v1 release.
