(From an etherpad describing this effort: https://mozillians.etherpad.mozilla.org/location-rollup-763792) (2) Display a list of common locations being the mozillians in the search results. (Which level? City, Region or Country, or All?) E.g. when a user searches for 'WebProd' should get a notification saying the most WebProd people are in the 'United States' and then he can click on United states to get all mozillians there This can be implemented through ElasticSearch facets. I visualise it the same way amazon displays relative categories for a search (see http://awesomescreenshot.com/066vdz3cb ) We can do the same for other user attributes, like language, skills, etc We must implement new views to cover the new location only queries. So when the user clicks on United States, he only gets people that are in united states, and not results with Bio 'I lived at some point of my like in the United States' We should sanitize our data to make this functionality useful It's not required but without it it won't make sense Ways to do it: Enforce latin only characters in location fields (maybe also other fields?) Call users to fill the full name of their City, Area Find a list of location synonyms to use in search (NY ~ New York) Display a dropdown when a user starts typing his area/city Get data from a curated list Can we get a list? one possible source: http://www.geodatasource.com/. I can talk more about this if we get this far; there are some nontrivial technical challenges here. Get data from entries already in the database Chicken - egg problem, since our database is polluted. Maybe delete all location information and start from scratch? Enforce users to update their profiles When a user loggins do not allow him to do anything if he doesn't complete profile We should do it once maybe when we have other fields ready like, phone, t-shirt size, more emails, websites, etc Can happen in phase 2, but until then what? BTW there is a bug about region being optional and not required to type a city https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771894
