Request for Improvements in the Registration Interface for Participants in a Competition

[riteshkrjnu]

In order to have access to the data and participate in a competition, the participants currently need to register for that. After registration, the organisers only have the option to Approve or Deny the participation but the organisers do not have access to any details of the person registering for the competition. Hence, no informed judgment could be made about whom to admit into the competition and whom not to admit. There is also no way to set up the competition so that the users could provide additional information about themselves, which could be used to decide on admitting them into the competition. We would request the following features

1. In the Admin interface, an option to create a registration form would allow the organisers to collect custom information about the participants
2. In the Participants tab this information could be accessed by the organisers before approving or denying their entry into the competition.
3. In the Participant tab, it might also be made possible for the organisers to access the participants profile (if the participant allows them to).

In Codabench (source), users have profiles and the "Participants" interface allow organizers to send emails to the participants.

Codabench will be gradually adopted as the new CodaLab Competitions. I think the development efforts will be focus more on Codabench, especially for this kind of non-blocking issues / suggestions.
