charlestontechnology / people Goto Github PK

Hello Everyone,

We moved the people repo to the charleston technology org, simply did not make sense to keep more than one chs tech repo.

Thanks

Tom

This idea may be moot as I'm not sure what the grander vision is here, but I wanted to suggest the following:

• Instead of individual repos for people, companies, etc., move everything into a GitHub pages repo (i.e., chstechcommunity.github.io), where each individual list becomes a distinct file.
• Each of these files would in turn be converted into a structured JSON file, using a known set of keys. E.g.,:

[
  {
    "displayName": "Tom Wilson",
    "githubUsername": "twilson63",
    "twitterUsername": "twilson63"
  },
  {
    "displayName": "Jeremy Martin",
    "githubUsername": "jmar777",
    "twitterUsername": "jmar777"
  },
  ...
]

Motivation: because GitHub Pages now implicitly set CORS headers that allow access from anywhere, this could become a repo that would be useful for little mashup apps (e.g., a chstech twitter slack bot, a news feed for all chstech GH activity, etc.). While there may be some level of novelty/usefulness there by itself, I think it could further be useful as a primitive API for local meetups and developer classes, wherein students/attendees would be able to interact with some slightly more contextual data (albeit in a readonly fashion).

Thoughts?
