Badging V4.0 - Adding three new metrics to the application

[ElizabethN]

Hi everyone!

We tried last year to add 3 new metrics to our event application (for in-person events) and then a bunch of stuff happened and it kind of got put on the back burner.

It's getting more crucial that we add these metrics. @adeyinkaoresanya has agreed to help sort everything out to get this to happen but I'm putting it here for full transparency and in case anyone else would like to help implement this.

The way I understand it, there are three components to this process:

1. The HTML for the website:
   • displays the application
   • collects the data
   • generates and displays number 2 👇
2. The markdown with the data for the applicant to copy/paste to GitHub
3. The Badging-Bot:
   • creates the checklists for the Badgers
   • adds and removes the proper labels to the issue
   • calculates the percentage
   • generates the badge
   • closes the issue
   • adds the event to the list of badged events

So when we add or change anything related to the data, it has a ripple effect from the HTML -> The Markdown -> The Badging Bot (and primarily the Badger checklists)

I had a functional test here that seemed to get us through the first 2 steps, but I think the process broke down when the Badging Bot tried to generate the checklists. I don't think it knew what to do with the new data.

For reference, the three metrics we are trying to add are: Name	Question
Event Accessibility	To what extent does your event accommodate those with various accessibility needs?
Event Location Inclusivity	Is the event located in a region where governments, cultural contexts, or society may cause harm to the physical safety and/or psychological safety of event attendees?
Public Health and Safety	To what extent does your event address public health through policies around masks, vaccines, COVID testing, and in infrastructure such as ventilation and air purification in indoor venues?

We really need someone to take what I started and bring it across the finish line, because I honestly no longer have the capacity (or badging bot know-how!) to get this implemented. If someone is interested in working on this, please connect with @adeyinkaoresanya.

It would be great to get this implemented in the next few months, before the next wave of applications come through.

Thank you to the whole team!! :heart: :pray:

I should also just add that this would be considered Badging Version 4.0 and should be reflected as such in the list of badged events.
