O> Onboarding Skills inventory: Developer? Writer? Redditor? etc.

[dckc]

I suggest we encourage new members to fill out a skills inventory. Perhaps when they join formally, but also as part of "welcome to RChain" messages on telegram etc.

edit: After a couple weeks of discussion, we have:

• RChain Coop Introductions (View / respond)
  • short URL: https://goo.gl/ffWXzD
• Edit
  • Responses spreadsheet (available to members of rchain@googlegroups.com only)

---

earlier:

By way of example:

• i2b2 transmart foundation kick-off survey June 2017

This perhaps overlaps with #15, but that discussion is so long I can't tell quickly. If there is already a skills inventory, I would like a list of those who identified themselves as software developers.

I discussed this briefly with @patrick727 and he suggested I notify @drbloom and @lapin7 .

@dckc I think Github ID is more essential. Although we have contributing members on discord. But Github is a core place where issues are been placed and discussed. The email feature has already been turned on. @lapin7 The form is good

[dckc]

One of the responses has no URL, no name, and no bio. That is: nothing to help me get to know the person.

I used the conditional sections feature to choose between a section for "online profile URL" and "fill out profile". So you have to fill out one or the other.

Feedback has slowed down. Let's see if that represents consensus. I took DRAFT off.

Here's a short URL; go forth and promote it widely: https://goo.gl/ffWXzD

[Keaycee]

Probably because we have few cooperative members here on Github. How about putting the draft on Discord and Telegram. I discover people don't like filling forms or KYCED.

How about we create a Markdown document with all the people that are working on something, their skill, what they are working on currently or the past.

Example:

Nickname: ICA3DaR5 Name: Donald Iljazi email: ICA3DaR5@protonmail.com Social Media: Discord: ICA3DaR5#1090, Reddit, Twitter, GitHub Skills:

• Development: XHTML(5), CSS(3), PHP 7, BASH, Golang, Ruby.
• Languages: American English (Proficiency degree from the University of Michigan), Greek (Native), Albanian (Native).

Studies: BS(c) Computer Networks, University of East London.

Something like that...?

[dckc]

Reading the results in that format would be nicer than the current spreadsheet formatting. I think it's straightforward to "pour" the spreadsheet into a Google Sites template page to achieve that result.

But I don't want to put learning markdown in the critical path of someone who wants to share their skills and background with me. And I'm not sure how to set up appropriate access control. When it comes to technical collaboration, I'm a hard-liner for "all info is public" but when it comes to interpersonal issues such as this, I think limited disclosure is worthwhile to allow people to be more comfortable sharing.

We could perhaps use a google doc... the results would probably not be as structured. Maybe that would be a good thing, maybe not. I'm not inclined to switch directions now. The https://goo.gl/ffWXzD form is working. We have 33 responses so far!

[dckc]

@9rb I see you assigned yourself and @jhngrant 4 days ago. What do you plan to do?

[dckc]

I did some google scripting to reformat the data:

flowed text

The script isn't automatically run when new responses come in.

And it's not very pretty. But it's easier to read than the spreadsheet in some ways.

@dckc the link requires access permissions.

[dckc]

oops! ok... I shared it with rchain@googlegroups.com

[lapin7]

@dckc Can we make this procedure as a kind of logon requisite. I get tons of emails for asking request to our docs. They have to become a member of rchain@googlegroups.com. And folks have to become a collaborator on Github/rchain/bounties.

And when they get a bounty they to fill out more personal data, like:

• W8 or W9 tax form
• Snail mail address
• ETH-address

Could the data above be linked to the public data of Github through a "limited access" database/spreadsheet?

[dckc]

It's not immediately clear how to do all that, @lapin7, but I'll think it over.

[lapin7]

For the moment I think an easy export of bounty-collaborators to a Gsheet would suffice. I would then make a link based on github-ID in a Gsheet and keep the personal data in a separate Gsheet.

@ysgjay in your recent Greeter work (cf. #783), is there anything like this survey?
