[RFE] Implement "Questions"

[lestrrat]

Instead of (or maybe in addition to) a traditional Q&A time during the session, it may be good to be able to post questions on the session, so the speaker can either answer it during the conference, or maybe write a blog afterwards

rough technical spec:

• You must be registered/logged in to make a question
• Questions are always associated with a session
• (Arbitrary) max 1000 questions per session
• (Arbitrary) max 4KB text per question
• maybe: allow markdown

rules:

• speaker does NOT need to respond to any of the questions
• speaker has the right to ignore/refuse to answer questions that does not follow protocol
• 1 question per entry

Hello ! This sounds interesting. I see that a Question type is already implemented, just wondering if more work is needed ? I’d be happy to help !

@ericfouillet Hey, completely warnocked you, didn't I?
Kid got chicken pox, then the kids (plural) and I got the flu, so I was out of action. Apologies.

I think I have left it at just having a placeholder for the API, and haven't done anything in terms of UI (which resides in builderscon/conf.builderscon.io. So yeah, the next step would be to create a UI for

1. Proposing questions (anybody who is logged in)
2. Delete questions (session owner and admins only)

hey @lestrrat , no worries at all, I hope everyone is feeling better now !

Thanks for sharing the status. I’m not much of a UI dev, but I'd be happy to give it a go. I’ve already browsed around the octav code, so let me take a look at the UI code and see if I can be useful :)
