This page is our scratchpad for the current UI Hackathon.  Today's hackathon focuses on the usability of the attachments UI.  We're meeting on [ircs://irc.mozilla.org:6697/ irc.mozilla.org] in the [ircs://irc.mozilla.org:6697/%23hackathon #hackathon channel] ( [http://bugzilla.glob.com.au/irc/?c=hackathon&a=date&s=29+Jul+2005&e=Today Channel Log]).


Navigation Ideas/patches:
* Navigation should be moved to the top of the page, and top-page show_bug navigation should be consolidated
* show_bug navigation should be in a floating box, instead of spread all over the page.
* admin options could be consolidated into a single "Admin" (or somesuch) link [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286338 bug about this change];
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=303126 Add option to exclude a Saved Search from appearing in the <link> tags]
Attachment Ideas/patches:
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302083 auto-convert uncompressed BMP to compressed PNG] status: ghendricks' patch coded, reviewed, approved, and checked in;
* [http://bugzilla.org/cgi-bin/mj_wwwusr?user=foo@bar.com&passw=&list=developers&brief=on&func=archive-get-part&extra=200507/178 make this comment an attachment] timello suggests we break this up into two separate chunks: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302726 moving attachment creation code to Attachment.pm], and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302726 adding the UI and functionality into show_bug.cgi]
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300949 optimize UI for viewing attachments]
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102957 redesign edit attachments screen]
* fix loss of "edit as comment" comments when going back to "edit attachment" page (new version of firefox won't have this problem, but other browsers still will; perhaps just submit the page back to the server for "edit as comment"?)
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208827 autodetect attachment type by default] status: in further discussions it seems like we can get rid of content type selection upon attachment creation entirely, since autodetect has a very high degree of accuracy these days.  we can probably also get rid of the "patch" checkbox with a routine that checks text/plain attachments to see if they are patches; we might want to pull in File::MMagic to catch cases where the browser tells us the wrong thing
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=252782 inline image attachments]
* [http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302669 include attachment data in "export bug" XML output] status: ghendricks is working on this
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5179 submit an attachment while entering a bug] this will benefit from the abovementioned attachment creation refactoring
* make attachment creation work when choosing reviewer on intermediate screen
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149504 let users attach multiple URLs/references] to a bug when that makes more sense than attaching the file
* let administrators enter multiple versions/platforms/operating-systems at once
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302372 Requestee input field is way too small] - Patch coded, reviewed, approved, and checked in;
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292022 let users multi-request] at the same time by accepting multiple addresses in the requestee field and always showing the "addl. flag" UI - Patch coded, reviewed, approved, and checked in;
