Possible to add group attributes?

[relrod]

No hard requirement here yet, but something to explore/consider: Is it possible to add group attributes in a similar way to the user attributes done already here?

Current FAS groups store:

• url
• mailing list
• mailing list url
• irc channel
• irc network
• rules for membership

Some/all of these might not be necessary any more (and we could probably just tell people to use the description field for them) -- but if we do decide to keep them, is it any harder to add than the user attributes were?

Is this a big thing to add?

No, it's simple. Just tell me what you need exactly.

For IRC channel I'd rather use a single multi-value attribute where each attribute entry encodes IRC network and channel. Perhaps like https://www.w3.org/Addressing/draft-mirashi-url-irc-01.txt ?

@abompard probably should confirm, but the following fields should be added:

• URL -- a url for the group. Typically in the fedoraproject, this is a link to the group's Wiki page.
• mailing list -- a mailing list address, for example: fedora-infrastructure-list@redhat.com
• mailing list url -- the mailman url for the mailing list.
• irc

I think we can probably drop the rules for membership.

With IRC, i am happy to use a single attribute here (rather than a multi-value), but still encoding the netwerok and channel as suggested above. IMHO, most groups really only have one irc channel here.

I think we can drop mailing_list_url and generate that ourselves in Noggin from the list's address.

Okies, so really 3 fields here:

• URL
• Mailing List Address
• IRC channel / server
