## configuration
|
|
|
|
On disk assumptions:
|
|
|
|
- `/town/var/signups` exists and is owned by user `join` and group `admin`
|
|
- `/town/var/signups/log` exists and is owned by user `join` and group `admin`
|
|
|
|
Assumes the following has been run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sqlite3 /town/var/signups/signups.db < /town/src/town/sql/create_signups_table.sql
|
|
sudo chown join:admin /town/var/signups/signups.db
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It assumes, in `sshd_config`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Match User join
|
|
ForceCommand /town/src/town/cmd/signup/signup
|
|
PubkeyAuthentication no
|
|
KbdInteractiveAuthentication no
|
|
PasswordAuthentication yes
|
|
PermitEmptyPasswords yes
|
|
DisableForwarding yes
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and in `/etc/pam.d/sshd`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
auth [success=done default=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so user ingroup join
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## initial thoughts
|
|
|
|
I need a script for how this interaction should go. It should feel more organic and fluid than just filling out a form. It shouldn't, however, take more than 10 minutes to get through stuff. The end result is to collect:
|
|
|
|
- an email address
|
|
- how a user found out about the town
|
|
- if they have a referral from an existing member
|
|
- what interests them about the town
|
|
- any links to personal websites or social media
|
|
|
|
A given is that the applicant is interacting with a "host" that guides them through the process. Should there be more than one host?
|
|
|
|
How many rooms should there be? 1? more?
|
|
|
|
in terms of data collection, I intend to just save the transcript of their interaction instead of more structured data. The only real structured data are email and referral.
|
|
|
|
another idea/thought/dream:
|
|
|
|
the whole point of this is to spatialize a form. it's a form! a set of questions and corresponding textarea elements. but in order to trigger self reflection -- as well as a feeling of being seen by another (in a good way) -- i want to turn the form into a shape. i'm thinking about this like the room in Eclipse Penumbra:
|
|
|
|
(For the Hollow Head was drug paraphenalia you could walk into. The building itself was the syringe, or the hookah, or the sniff-tube)
|
|
|
|
so, spatialized, every room is a question. the rooms take shape as a linear script the user moves through by:
|
|
|
|
1. answering a question
|
|
2. executing a verb
|
|
|
|
and finally at the end, a verb to confirm submission.
