Include soft skills in project content #1501

I've been looking at Igor Steinmacher's website and enjoying a lot of the information he provides to newcomers. Unfortunately you have to login to see what I'm talking about, but I particularly like that projects list "soft skills" you need to know about. I think it would be great if we encouraged our projects to list the community norms and social skills encouraged by the project.

@shaunagm This seems like a reasonable addition. Were you thinking a text entry box of some sort?

shaunagm commented 9 years ago

In an ideal world we'd expand the data models the website uses to make it easier to search by all skills. In the meantime, though, a text entry box will do. ;)

@shaunagm Got it :)

Here are some of the development steps for someone interested in working on this issue.

[ ] Add a data entry box for "community norms" or "soft skills" to the project information page
[ ] Add a text field to the project data model to store entered text in the database
[ ] Add tests for the new data entry box and data storage

On the topic of data modelling for this, I added a new skills table when I was developing bugsets/ that was just free form; see this line for how that was written. Would be nice to be consistent. This also doesn't distinguish between "hard" and "soft" skills, which I think is nice because they're equally important.
