- [ ] Hosting of the solution. We could either host it via the service of the discourse team or host it ourself. (see comment about it)
i think it wouuld be easier to setup our own instance for it with proper backup. We don't really need HA for now. Discourse can easily be installed to some cloud services using templates . The bonus is that it would makes it easier for us to handle the addition of new services/scripts
- [ ] member identification we need a way for the members to tell to the forum they are members of the ErlEF. How will it work?
We talk sometimes ago to have a way for the member to get its own member ID using its page on the website (cc @starbelly ). So the solution ( as already been discussed) can be as simple as having the following process:
Note we may want to have some kind of TOKEN generated for each members when they ask for instead of having an ID. Doing that way would simplify the validiation.
- [ ] do we need to automate the notification process to warn the group but also interested WGs(those which the member is part) a member has registered
Main goal of it is to allows the chairs to add the permission to the member to access to their private topics and possibly add a badge
Sorry don't have bandwidth for this currently
We talk sometimes ago to have a way for the member to get its own member ID using its page on the website (cc @starbelly ). So the solution ( as already been discussed) can be as simple as having the following process:
- The member retrieve its ID on the erlef accout page
- The member register its ID in its discourse profile (after he registered)
- A separate service check if the ID is valid
Note we may want to have some kind of TOKEN generated for each members when they ask for instead of having an ID. Doing that way would simplify the validiation.
Wouldn't it be easier to rely on the email used on wild apricot?
ticket to track the setup of the erlef forum. As the project will grow, more tickets will be linked to it.
