What does everyone think about having a server staff bio page?

I think some community members might find it cool to know a little bit more about our staff members. This could also serve as a place to include descriptions of the various staff roles.

Of course, we don't need to add personal info like real names, pics, GH handles, etc. if we don't want to, but at least a Discord handle and short blurb about each of us might be nice.

Thoughts

I'd like to have some individual server staff bios in order to give a little context about who we are as a team. This does not have to be personal information, and I'd encourage staff to not give out more information than they are comfortable with. If the only thing you want to share is "Likes to code in JavaScript" then that's fine.

Implementation

There are a few ways we can do this. I think the easiest way would be to have a separate page for each bio so that when you click on the avatar it takes you to that page. Another idea would be to have a modal containing the bio pop up when you click the person's avatar. If we go that route, we should probably make a proof of concept or wireframe ahead of time though.

Issues

Let's make a separate issue for each of the staff bios and allow each staff member to choose whether they want to make the PR for that issue or just provide us with a short blurb to put in there for them. We can also keep track here so we know when we're done and can close this issue.

Remaining bios:

• Brussels
• Fede
• el_cocodrilo
• Mariana
• Codeneutrino
• tgrtim
• 8-bit
• Victoria_DR
• megara | Rachel
• -Solace-
• Alex Wojtak
• Christo
• Lyall
• UnseenCode
• Hunter The Milk Turtle
• MikeJ
• Egoizumu

I think this would be awesome!

Bulma has pretty good support for modals from what I've seen so if we wanted to go down that route it shouldn't be too difficult.

Modals sound nice.

Just submitted mine to the google form 🙌

I'm sure they can be styled much nicer when we have everyone's data as well, although they look great already 👍
