Multiple contact possibilities

[the-metalgamer]

Hey,

Currently the spaceapi only supports one value for each contact item.

Wouldn't it be better to support multiple values. For examples a space might have multiple phone numbers or it might have multiple twitter/mastodon accounts.

Cheers, metalgamer

Can you give a few concrete examples of spaces that have more than one account per type?

[the-metalgamer]

For phones, a space might have a mobile phone and a landline. Maybe one phone in every room, or maybe one phone specially for the press.

For twitter/mastodon accounts, one of the organisation and one for the bot which posts the door status.

Might, yes. But do you have an actual situation where that is the case? Also, if the door has its own Mastodon account, should that really be listed under "contact"? :slightly_smiling_face:

Well, we have in our space 3 Mastodon Accounts and 2 Twitter accounts. On mastodon, we have one account for the organisations which runs the space ("Chaos Computer Club Luxembourg", where we post general stuff, like that we did have a press release etc...), one for the space itself ("ChaosStuff", where we post stuff running in the space (e.g. Events, Projects etc...) and one for the space status.

Currently we have one phone number, which is mobile phone, but in future we will very probably have a landline phone in the space.

For mail addresses, we have 2 main contact possibilities, info@c3l.lu for general enquiries and one especially for the press!

Personally I think yes, because it is a possibility the get in contact with the space, as you would know when the space is open and can go there.

Maybe we should just have a a generic links sections, something like:

{
"links": [
 { "name": "Door Twitter", "description": "The Twitter account which tweets our door open status", "url": "https://twitter.com/foo/bar" }
]
}

Maybe we should just have a a generic links sections, something like

I created a PR for this: #67.

I close the issue as the links section was merged some time ago.
