Feature request: anonymous sites instead of CSV

[davidneedham]

Rather than provide a CSV of student names and emails, I'd like to run the script and be given the option to generate X sites without student info.

For example, if the project name is "MSP Training" and the number requested is 3, it would generate msp-training-01, msp-training-02, msp-training-03 - all associated with the email [email protected].

I'm currently getting around this by using a CSV that looks like this:

0,1,[email protected]
0,2,[email protected]
0,3,[email protected]

But that will generate 01-projectname rather than projectname-01. No biggie, but robots can make my life easier by just asking how many sites I need.

@davidneedham can you explain some of the reasoning? Will a CSV ever be needed or do all trainers prefer not to give student info ahead of time?

[davidneedham]

When a trainer has a roster, using the CSV is great. It saves a lot of time and works perfectly.

When a trainer doesn't know who will show up (or when they want to invite the students personally and prefer not to give me that info), they've asked me to just use student#'s. I feel like this has been happening more recently, but I don't think we should do away with the CSV option.

Okay. Is this something you need ASAP or can I work it into next sprint?

[davidneedham]

Next sprint is totally fine. My workaround with tweaking the CSV is good enough for now.
