1017677 - Move the adhoctribution team list to a separate location

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Foundation :: Metrics, task, P2)

Description

Currently this is hard-coded into the select drop-down.

If this is a JSON file managed in a separate repo, a matching list can be used by MozBadges and updated in a single place.

some requirements are that it be easy for people to ask for and get a new team added.  One proposal would be to create a text file on a github-pages branch in github, published using github Pages.  Advantage would be that making a change to that file is available to anyone w/ commit privileges to whatever repo we choose (making it easier for PRs to get processed, and processed in the web UI ideally).

text vs. JSON: text would require more client side work on parsing/escaping, but hand-writing JSON is easy to screw up, and publishing a syntactically invalid JSON file would break the clients.  if people have better ideas, that'd be just fine.

I've started this here: https://github.com/mozilla/team-list/ (it's within the MozBadges team) and will do some more on this next week.
