Perhaps from the website?

davetaz commented 11 years ago

Indeed, I've just started this code in a branch called iss1 locally. It will be an ugly screen scraper for now as I'm not aware of the data being available in a structured way. This is basically me catching up with the rest of the tech team. I'll submit this as a merge request later for review. :)

I'm sure we can get that in a Drupal view in XML or JSON. Shouldn't take more than 1/2 hour :)

One slight issue will be that the sign-in system uses email address as an identifier. This data is not available via the website.

Could we add it as an extra field and hide it from public view?

davetaz commented 11 years ago

It is already there and hidden as long as we keep the same url pattern cough

Isit? Just had a look and can't see it there. Am I missing something?
