Support more than one Technical Writer per group

Evan Read requested to merge eread/support-more-than-one-technical-writer-per-group into master

Why is this change being made?

Now that more than one Technical Writing team member can be assigned to a group, our assignments table needs to support more than one value for tech_writer in data/stages.yml.

How to test

  1. Clone this project.
  2. Check out this branch.
  3. In the root directory of the project, run bundle exec rake build:handbook. Wait for that to complete.
  4. Change into sites/handbook.
  5. Run bundle exec middleman serve. It takes some time to be ready. Wait for == Webpack proxy server enabled: use "http://localhost:4567" or "http://127.0.0.1:4567" to appear. Even then, it can take more time to be ready.
  6. Go to one of the following:

    • http://127.0.0.1:4567/handbook/product/ux/technical-writing/#designated-technical-writers
