Create volunteer role

[carlsednaoui]

As a volunteer I want to:

• Volunteer to one (or more) event(s)
• Be able to become a volunteer without mentioning which event
• Be able to edit my user profile, which includes time availability, days available, etc

Check out: https://github.com/EppO/rolify and https://github.com/ryanb/cancan Both gems usually work together. Perhaps we can salvage this...

Volunteer has a User account on the system; they "apply" to volunteer at an organization, an admin of the organization then approves the volunteer "application" which might have options selected in a checklist, perhaps a list of skills, etc.

I like this a lot.

The 'application' process will make it easy for organizations to know which volunteer's they've vetted for which program. Do you think this notion of 'applying' should be part of v1 or is this something that is better built later?

v1; it is just an extra form that could be nested Some links I find quite helpful: [1] http://www.createdbypete.com/articles/working-with-nested-forms-and-a-many-to-many-association-in-rails-4/ [2] http://www.sitepoint.com/complex-rails-forms-with-nested-attributes/ [3] http://www.railsexperiments.com/using-strong-parameters-with-nested-forms/

Thanks for sharing these resources. This seems like something fun we could pair on!

[miclovich]

Yes! :-)
