So for some reason, when I open the website on chrome, it default takes me to the alumni page.

Which made me realize that even though I've been here for a long time, there's a lot of people on the alumni team that I have no idea what they did.

Which got me to thinking. Maybe there can be a description on the Alumni page stating what each person did before becoming alumni (Nothing like, extensive. It can just be like "BAT: mm/dd/yyyy - mm/dd/yyyy" or something like that

I'd start a project like this myself, but I only have limited knowledge of who most of these people are and what they did.

Bumping this since it's been a while

This will also clear up confusion of "Why is ~~Mara~~ xxx on the alumni?"

"they were staff at one point" is enough justification for normal users as to why a certain individual is an alumni

If it could be written up by someone with the required knowledge, a history of osu!'s staff (what title users held and how long they held it for) would be an interesting article for users to look at. If someone with this information posts it I see no reason to disallow it.

Could go well in a wiki page, fwiw?

*an alumnus. Singular.

I'd like to see something like this, for similar reasons. It'd be nice to see specific contributions if a member of staff was notable for anything in particular. If nothing else, it'd be nice to see who of the alumni were outstanding, as opposed to being a fairly nondescript staffer. Even if that's a poor reason for it, it'd be nice to read about specific approaches to modding and management.
