Convert Skills to generic Labels #42

Open gskorokhod opened 1 month ago

gskorokhod commented 1 month ago

Requirements

Rationale

Apart from qualifications, people can belong to teams, be full time employees / volunteers, etc. Locations (and potentially other entities) can also have a different properties ("is it wheelchair accessible?" / "does this room have a projector?"). We need a more general way to manage these.

Examples

Considerations

Skill Progression

We have discussed the possibility of skill progression for employees when starting this project. This would be easier if a Skill was a distinct type, and not a generic label. This functionality is not required in this iteration (or likely the next one), so this is ok. In the future, we could subclass the Label class to create special kinds of labels

Label values

Currently, a label is just a boolean property. This is flexible and simple to implement, but in the future users may want more ways to organize labels. (For example, in this project we have labels like kind::code or kind::design; "kind" could be a category and ["code", "design", ...] could be values). This is probably not needed in this iteration or the next one, if at all. It may become necessary if we try to support large organisations with a large number of teams, employee skill sets, etc
