Create garden-level volunteer hour tracking system, and allow users to record their hours for GM about gardenhub HOT 3 OPEN

I'm gonna try to rephrase this in a more human way. Please correct me @marykatefain

Garden managers want help. They want to use GardenHub to ask for help. Any registered member can volunteer to help. When they do, they become a picker for that garden, until the period of the job request ends.

What are the properties of a job request?

• Garden
• Date range
• Description

This sounds generally right. I would add that some gardens have mandatory volunteer hours, so users will want an easy way to find their tasks and record their hours, and GMs want an easy way to track who has completed their hours.

Additionally, I believe we discussed having a "required skills" section that shows the skills you need to do the job and at what level. For example:

Weed the community garden beds
Weekly, 2 hours
Instructions: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus bibendum quam est, ac ullamcorper ante venenatis sit amet. Vivamus auctor elementum justo non eleifend. Donec venenatis tortor sed risus laoreet rhoncus. Proin sed blandit ex.
Skills required: Weeding (beginner)

Fix the wheelbarrow
One time, 5 hours
Instructions: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus bibendum quam est, ac ullamcorper ante venenatis sit amet. Vivamus auctor elementum justo non eleifend. Donec venenatis tortor sed risus laoreet rhoncus. Proin sed blandit ex.
Skills required: Power tools (intermediate), Woodworking (advanced)

Rotate the compost bin
Weekly, 1 hour
Instructions: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus bibendum quam est, ac ullamcorper ante venenatis sit amet. Vivamus auctor elementum justo non eleifend. Donec venenatis tortor sed risus laoreet rhoncus. Proin sed blandit ex.
Skills required: Compost (beginner)

In the future, these required skills can sync up with skills people list on thier profiles and maybe even suggest volunteers for each role.

Additionally, if a volunteer is not assigned for each job the GM should be able to choose s default person (probably themselves) to be assigned to the chore to ensure it gets done.

ETA: also, gardeners should be able to report volunteer hours they did that weren't in the system (so reporting should not be dependent on chores listed, it should be independent or merely linked)
