A thin app that imports Papercall talk submission JSON data and enables:

• Off-platform manual redaction for submission content fields
• Assigning proposals to certain reviewers
• Hide previous ratings on a proposal by default
• Rating aggregation to build stack-ranked list
• Persisting review committee-only notes

How to use

You will need:

• Node.js and NPM
• Ruby if you want to generate submissions
• Redis running locally with default configs

To run:

npm install
npm start

The app will start on port 3000 by default.

Running on Heroku

You can deploy this to Heroku easily! You will need to provision a Redis add-on. This app is currently hard-coded to read the configs of the Redis To Go add-on.

Run git push heroku master after initializing a Heroku project and provisioning the add-on.

Users

In the interest of rapid prototyping, this app just uses basic auth via PassportJS. To configure users, create a JSON file called users.json in the root directory, structured like example-user.json.

Seeding Proposals

You can use the pre-generated proposals in scripts/submissions.json, or generate your own using the Faker gem. An example is in scripts/make_fakes.rb.

Use seed-proposals.sh to send all the proposals to an API endpoint that writes directly into Redis.

Creating Assignments

You can assign certain users to review certain talks. I will script this later, but for now you can use curl, Postman, HTTParty, etc. to send the following API request:

POST "http://localhost:3000/assign/#{user}/#{talkID}"

An example of how to programmatically do this is in scripts/make_assignments.rb.

This project is a WIP
