(refined from https://mozillians.etherpad.mozilla.org/curated-group-specs) Feature: Allow vouched Mozillians to create groups whose membership/attributes they can manage. Overview: A curated group is like a functional area, but any Mozillian can create and manage them. Curated groups have a variety of settings. Any mozillian can find a curated group, see its name, see meta-information about the group, and see its curator (but not necessarily see its individual members). Any mozillian can request to join a group. A curator can manage curated group settings. A curator can approve requests to join a group. A curator can remove people from a group. When this feature launches, existing functional areas will be converted to curated groups with a "functional area" flag set. Version 1 "MVF" (minimum viable feature) Stories: * As a user, I can create a "curated group" that will resemble our current functional areas in functionality, and I am automatically assigned as its curator * Each curated group will have its own web page (detail page) similar to the existing functional areas * As a user, when I visit someone else's curated group's web page, I'll see information about the group and about the curator at the top (similar to functional areas): * Curator image * Curator name * Curator contact info * group more info URL (href) * number of members * group overview * irc channel * As a user, I can request to join a curated group unless the "Group is accepting new members" flag is set to false (see below) by clicking a button on the group's web page * As a user, I can leave a curated group unless the "Members can leave the group" flag is set to false (see below) by clicking a button on the group's web page * As a user if my request to join a group is accepted, I will get an email * As a user when I search, the search results will include curated groups alongside other groups * As a curated group owner, I will receive requests to join the group by email * As a curated group owner, I can visit an interface that allows me to see requests to join the group, links to the profiles of requesters, and allows me to accept requests * As a curated group owner, I can visit an interface that shows me all members of the group and allows me to remove members * As a curated group owner, I can visit an interface that allows me to manage the following settings about a curated group: ** more info URL (text) ** group overview (textarea with character limit: 500 chars) ** irc channel ** group name ** group members * As an admin, I can do anything a curated group owner can do, to any curated group * As an admin I can manage additional settings of a curated group using the /admin interface. ** "Members can leave the group?" (TRUE/FALSE, default TRUE) ** "Group is accepting new members?" (YES/NO/BY REQUEST, default BY REQUEST) ** "Functional area?" (TRUE/FALSE, default FALSE) ** Group owner (user picker) * As a public user (someone not signed in) or unvouched user: ** (now and at release of this feature) I must login to see anything at any group URL ** I can see the groups that a user is a member of on a user's profile if they are shared with public users * As a Mozilla Corp API user: ** (at release of this feature) I can see all groups that a person is a member of at the /users endpoint, and I can see meta information about all groups at the /groups endpoint ** I can filter the /users endpoint for users in particular groups
