[gentoo-soc] Weekly progress report (#1)

[Joachim Bartosik]

Note: this is slightly modified version of: post [0] on my blog.

I’m doing a web application for Gentoo Recruiters team. I’m doing it
using Ruby on Rails with Hobo.

I finished my first week of work. This week’s goal was to get something
basic working. This week I’ve completed a few tasks:

Setting up hobo project. It was pretty basic. I created new hobo
application and created .gitignore file.

Roles for users. User can be recruit, mentor or recruiter or guest. I
initially planned to use lifecycle to do it but Hobo allows only users
in active state to log in. I made a separate model for role. After that
and I noticed Hobo Enum Strings and replaced my Role model with
HoboFields::EnumString.for(:recruit, :mentor, :recruiter) . Recruiters
(an only recruiters) can be administrators. Administrators can do some
things nobody else can.

Creating new questions. Recruiters can create questions and question
categories (which is wrong – only administrators should be allowed to do
that). Each question belongs to one category.

Answering questions. Any user logged in can create an answer. Every
answer belongs to a question and is owned by user who created it.
Recruiter can give user categories of questions. Users should answer all
questions in categories they were assigned. Users can see all questions
in categories they were assigned, all questions they answered (including
those from other categories) and all questions in categories they were
assigned, but they didn’t answer. In all questions listings answered
questions are marked.

Viewing recruit answers. Registered user belongs to mentor (another user
with role mentor or recruiter). Mentors can view answers of users they
are mentoring. They can see:

    * Answers given by each user they are mentoring.
    * All answers given by all users they are mentoring.
    * All answers for questions in each category, given by all users
they are mentor.

Demo. I put application on Heroku.

Finally a few links:

Git repository with my project on overlays.gentoo.org. Accepted commits
go there. Once a commit went there you can expect it to stay there:
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/recruiting-webapp.git


Git repository with my project on github. Commits there get edited a lot
before they are pushed to repository on overlays.gentoo.org:
