Author management about sketchbook

[jshawl]

I know of this file: https://github.com/nclud/sketchbook/blob/230e200444bc0676c92f7cda77e61fb5d8f762f8/app/_data/authors.yml

but I'm not sure how to load that data based on an author in the front matter. maybe something like

---
layout: post
title: "The Title"
author: jared laser
---

And then in the post layout (https://github.com/nclud/sketchbook/blob/230e200444bc0676c92f7cda77e61fb5d8f762f8/app/_layouts/post.html) We could pull in that data.

Thoughts?

I think we can load up config.yml with authors that are manually as-needed. We can front load this with people who are likely going to be authoring content.

ex.

- authors
    - kerry
        - picture: foo.jpg
        - twitter: kerrygunther
    - jesse
        - picture: bar.jpg
        - twitter: jshawl

We can then access them with site.authors or something like that. We can also add these authors to the [Prose configuration] to get a dropdown menu (https://github.com/prose/prose/wiki/Prose-Configuration#select--multiselect) until I figure out an automatic way to handle it. We just need to make sure that the Prose configuration value is identical to the key for the author.

Ex:

options:
  - name: 'Kerry Gunther'
    value: ''kerry"
