idea
An opt-in module in FAS allows for gathering of recommendations and contribution data for a user. This is used to build an semiautomagic CV, with verifiable recommendations, that can follow a contributor in the rest of their life.
goal
People work hard in the Fedora Project. They write smart things, think smart ideas, and make stuff just smart. They should be able to benefit from this collective information for future education, employment, or any situation where a CV and recommendations can be useful.
This is opt-in specifically so people are not feeling tracked by spooky data machines. Only contributors who opt-in would have their Fedora-related data warehoused in this way.
misc
Tons of metrics to expose:
- Count of blog posts on planet, tag cloud from aggregate over the years.
- Wiki pages edited.
- Animation of collaboration via any useful SCM, maybe wiki.
- Number of emails to Fedora lists, presence in threads, threads started.
- IRC stuff - automagic way to tell count of questions asked or answered?
A way for people to recommend each other with specific stories and details!
get started right now
We could start personal recommendations right now with User Talk pages:
- Introduce the meme.
- Add a section to a user's talk page, e.g. User talk:Quaid, either following a format or going freeform.
- Sign the entry with the special 4-tildes tag.
- It's verifiable via history
- This format allows the recommendations to be sucked in to a future module in FAS.
