648192 - [Career] Write library to digest Jobvite XML and generate job listing JSON

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Michael Morgan [:morgamic]]

Possible inputs:
- job category
- group
- date
- position
- other fields?

Outputs:
- ordered JSON blob with position metadata

Part of this will include looking at what the site will need and adjusting the library to output the correct JSON, but we can figure this out pretty quickly after whiteboarding it.

Right now, a UX issue is the discontinuity between mozilla.com|org and jobvite -- we should be able to easily eliminate that problem by using the XML feed to attain seamless integration with jobvite data.

Pretty simple to do either client-side or on a cron (to prevent mitm).  Example:
http://twitter.com/jobs-engineering.html

XML link:
http://www.jobvite.com/CompanyJobs/Xml.aspx?c=qpX9Vfwa

Also, I just don't like having .aspx pages hosting our jobs...

Paul, do you want to give that a shot? If you take this, I can spend time on the site framework, then work with you to *use* this library for the careers page.

Sure thing. I'll set this up as a simple django app unless anyone has any objections.

Basic JSON querying is put together:
