I think a Tech@NYU version should be forked from this one so that a more generic system can be designed. This way other clubs / hackathons / organizations can use it.

Add important vertex and edge information for the groups graph. Mousing over users would show their info (school, want to know, need to know) and edges show the common interests between two users.

This allows groups to start the discussion immediately, instead of having to ask this.

Admins should be able to see how many people signed up, repeat visitors, how interests have changed over time, etc.

The d3 graph does not work on mobile. The div is too small and its impossible to interact with it.

Currently, groups are matched based on "interests," as defined as the union of their "skills I want to know" and "skills I do know." This is too little information for the classifier, which in random samples of 30 people (sample_data.rake) has led to only 3 groups of a possible 5.

We have a few options:

1. Groups based on custom weighting function (i.e. 60% similar want to know, 40% similar already know)
2. Admins pick group classification (put custom weights on want to know and already know).
3. Users can select their preferences

• but fall back on presets if not enough groups.

Add events model with a has_and_belongs_to_many relationship with users. Events have a title and description (optional), though I envision more information will be added later (date / time, location).

This way, users can sign up once (but review their info before every event), but be associated with particular events.

Admins should be able to:

1. Create Events
2. Add/remove users from events. (i.e., inappropriate names)
3. See event attendee information.
