Here are some extracted from the readme...

As consultants we are constantly needing to keep up our resumes updated with every engagement and the details of accomplishments. This isn't a terrible task as many of us have a git repository that holds and versions our resume well. Working in many contracts with local government poses a number of different time consuming tasks manually querying resume information to fill out matrix and other forms. The thought came to build a simple tool that can host this information in a format that allows us to automate this. Another benefit to this could be for consulting companies. For the small consulting shop it could be used to rapidly search consultants skills even availability for up coming contracts.

Note that I expect some of the things below to be thrown out as "don't care", but they're there just because.

Top-level requirements

  • I need a way to add projects.
  • Share my "resume" with other local consultants / consultant companies
  • I would like to be able to query my resume by keyword, technology
  • I would like to be able to export "reports"
  • I would like to be able to import data from LinkedIn

On each project I would like to be able to...

  • Add a job title
  • Add a company/agency name
  • Add a physical location
  • Add a description
  • Add a timeline
  • Add a list of technologies used
  • Add a timeline for each technology used
  • Add technology-specific details of how it was used
  • Add an industry or industries (ex. health-care, transportation)
  • Add an approximate budget
  • Add a point of contact for the project, including name, job title, phone, and email

Sharing sub-requirements*

  • I should be able to share/hide certain pieces of information
  • I would like a way to indicate how I should be contacted and my current availability
  • I would like to be able to optionally opt-in/opt-out of some sort of "network" sharing

*This feature can expand to be quite large depending on the level of access control desired

"Reporting" requirements**

  • I would like to be able to export a "Skills matrix"
  • I would like to be able to generate a classic Resume
  • I would like to be able to customize the header/footer of generated documents. (Note that the header and footer may not be consistent across document types)

**TBD: Document format: Excel, Html, *.docx?

Thanks @emragins this looks good. I think we also need to add "Create an account", and "Create a profile", etc... We originally talked about this being for individuals, but there could be great use for consulting companies.

Right on, @CarBar. As you know, once the door to authentication/authorization opens up it's a whole suite of requirements right out of the box. I left those off the first-pass for brevity...
