864970 - Mozillians homepage: Implement Facts about Mozillians

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Participation Infrastructure :: Phonebook, defect)

Description

[Justin Crawford [:hoosteeno] [:jcrawford]]

The homepage redesign underway includes a rotating "Fact about Mozillians".

1) As an administrator, I can create/update/delete a Fact about Mozillians.
2) As a logged-in or logged-out user, I will see a random Fact about Mozillians when I visit the homepage.

From the perspective of an administrator, a Fact about Mozillians has two components:
* A short (~150 chars max) plaintext string
* A published/unpublished state

Facts will be in English only (there is currently no facility for translating text in the database).

Example facts:

    number of vouched mozillians

    number of languages spoken

    number of countries represented

    number of Mozillians with a specific skill

    number of Mozillians in a specific group

    number of Mozillians in a city, region, or country

    number of Mozillians who speak a specific language

Question from QA:
I'm not sure I'm in the correct part of the admin panel - https://mozillians.allizom.org/admin/funfacts/funfact/add - what do the "Number" and "Divisor" fields refer to?

Comment 2

[Justin Crawford [:hoosteeno] [:jcrawford]]

Both of those fields take python statements that evaluate to numbers. There are examples here:

https://github.com/mozilla/mozillians/blob/master/apps/funfacts/fixtures/demo_data.json

They allow the funfacts to represent arbitrary dynamic data.

Further information for curious QAs:

* fun facts display when there are no announcements
* that means there must be no announcements with a display period including now
* and fun facts must be in published state
* and then a random one will appear

Here's a screenshot showing a funfact appearing under the above circumstances:

Here's the fun fact that made it all possible:

Thank you Hoosteeno - this is indeed a magical system.

Per our irc conversation the happy path testing that you performed (comment 3) is enough coverage for this feature. The feature is in the /admin/ area and thus used by the internal project team. No exploratory testing is needed at this time.

Bumping to QA verified on stage.
