Volunteer aliases

[ankitr]

Every case will have a volunteer alias under which volunteers will operate. This begets familiarity and trust in the user by personalizing the triage team. When a new case is made, it should be assigned to one of O(10) aliases which will be displayed to and used by the volunteers working on the case.

Are going to use the same bandname npm module to create aliases? Or are we going to have more formal volunteer IDs?

[ankitr]

We'll pick honest-sounding names as aliases.

[gmittal]

This seems to look pretty good. Thoughts @ankitr?

[ankitr]

Sure. I mean, they only need to be generated once.

[gmittal]

Ok.

[gmittal]

We're currently doing this manually via Firebase.

[ankitr]

This is still a task, because we want volunteers to scale and we should have 1 alias for every ~3 volunteers. Reopening and labeling not urgent.
