908088 - [Bridge to Webmaker] Create Mentor Profile Makes/Associations/Affiliations with Partners in Mind

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webmaker Graveyard :: webmaker.org, defect)

Description

[Laura Hilliger [:epilepticrabbit]]

Just had this question from a partner:

"If someone created a make via their own personal subdomain, is there a way we can include/highlight in our subdomain other than remixing via our own account?"

We're a community of networks (AND individuals), many of our partners will need/want to be able to show makes from organizations and individuals within their own specific networks. "Friends of PartnerX" or "Makes from PartnerX's community"

I can see how this will be useful for: 
*Partners, Hives and Organizations that steward networks
*dummy event accounts (lots of mentors create a persona for specific events, so they don't have to use the 30 minutes it takes to explain Persona and get individuals set up on accounts)
*future online learning experiments (think about if we had all the makes from the 1st Teach the Web easily findable through the "teachtheweb v1" user)

For now we can create a tag for each partner, but that will pull up all remixes  – so it seems like it won't be as useful as another option.

@Matt - If bugzilla is not the place for these thoughts, let me know where is ;)

Brett, can you look at this and decide whether it's in scope for us and assign to someone to own or WONTFIX.

I think we are on track for this:

1) via makeAPI gallery, where networks will be able to curate their own work even in thimble
2) via profile
3) explore section has emerging notion of a "channel" of resources / kits that a network can create.

Marking as resolved as this use case will certainly be addressed in future iterations of webmaker.org
