Add system for trusted curators to add cases to channels #24

Closed mlissner closed 1 year ago

mlissner commented 1 year ago

Curators should use the django permissions system. They should have the ability to add specific cases to specific channels (big cases, little cases, slack, discord, etc).

They could do this either via a dedicated webpage (and we create users for them via admin), or via the admin site, if we can control it enough. Eventually, we'll probably need a dedicated webpage.

Note that curators should automatically be listed on the website somewhere (see #22)

Feel free to list candidate curators here. I'll start with two:

Obviously, the higher profile folks we get, the better.

I was hoping this could take the form of @-replying to the bot, but it seems like that won't work with the new API changes, but at a minimum, it'd be nice to convert the lookup --add command to a web form.

I guess one thing that'd be nice is to have that form use CL's APIs to search for cases, but I guess it's fine just to have people paste a URL or ID in there.

Once this is done, we can start getting people on board.
