Group formation

[ferbsx]

Automatically forming groups of

• a ratio of 2 coaches to 4-6 attendees to one group.
• All attendees and coaches in one group should speak the same language.
• The attendees in one group should ideally have one operating system.
• If it's possible, it'd be great if the level of attendees is somewhat matched too (so people with level 0 are together and level 3-5 people are together).
• In the 2 coaches for one group, at least one should be an "expert = not first-time"
• Ideally it would be awesome if each group has a female coach too.

• create a "Groups" tab for an event
• If no groups are yet created, a "Generate Groups" will be displayed
• Add "First Time Coaching" field to coach application
• table structure for storing groups
• If groups are generated, display in a grid (group number, coach(es) and attendees)
• if groups are generated, display a "regenerate groups" button that will trigger new group creation
• change display to one application per line & one coach per line
• Make sure list is printable

warning: The outcome of this list of tasks will be group formation BUT not having any requirements into account!

Open issues:

• distribute attendees in groups < 4 to other groups by language (regardless of OS)
• group coaches by language
• distribute coaches equally among groups
• match language of coaches with language of attendees in the groups
• if possible, pair 1 senior and 1 new coach
• if possible, ensure that each group has at least 1 female coach
