feature request: add team members to focus area pages

[cranmer]

Would be nice if a focus area page like this:
https://iris-hep.org/as.html

automatically listed the team members working in the area.

• either just names or also photos

I can do this, perhaps via pictures...I agree thats a good thing to have

[davidlange6]

is one approach I can propose (modulo fixing Mario's last name)

I'd either let the photos crop, or align them at the bottom - it looks weird with different heights. We probably should pick an aspect ratio for team pictures. Otherwise looks nice. :)

[davidlange6]

I agree about the figures - not sure how to accomplish that - will figure it out:)

[henryiii]

This currently has two problems: focus areas with no projects don't show any users (and users not in a project get missed), and extra users get added by cross-focus-area projects with users that should only be in one of the multiple focus areas.

[henryiii]

The best solution would be to have users list focus areas in the data files, but that would take a bit of work to get setup for everyone.

[davidlange6]

Its not clear what you mean by "users get added by cross-focus-area projects? if they are cross focus area then they are in both focus areas.. Whats an example use case?

[davidlange6]

focus areas with out projects (well, maybe we shouldn't have those..) - indeed, having their own team list makes sense to me. This also addresses users without projects (again strange to me:) )

the downside of focus areas in the people data files is that we are then asking for this information to be maintained in two places.

@davidlange6, I brought up the issue with cross-area team listings. Just because area Foo includes project Bar doesn’t mean that the Foo area considers everyone who works on project Bar to be part of their team. It’s great to have projects that cross areas, of course, but I think that project membership is simply a distinct thing from area membership.

I’m not familiar with such a strict focus-area definition. I guess an osg specific issue? Ok. I’d personally prefer that we maintain exceptions rather than duplicating everything. Eg, focus area members are project members + a dedicated list of exceptions to add + a dedicated list of exceptions to omit in each focus area yml.

Sure, that’s fine.
