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 irc.mozilla.org in the #hackathon channel ( Channel Log).
Next Hackathon: Friday, September 9, from 10am to 6pm PDT
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 bug about this change;
- Add option to exclude a Saved Search from appearing in the <link> tags - Will hopefully have a new patch by the time the hackathon comes around.
Attachment Ideas/patches:
- auto-convert uncompressed BMP to compressed PNG status: ghendricks' patch coded, reviewed, approved, and checked in;
- make this comment an attachment timello suggests we break this up into two separate chunks: moving attachment creation code to Attachment.pm, and adding the UI and functionality into show_bug.cgi
- optimize UI for viewing attachments
- 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"?)
- 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
- inline image attachments
- include attachment data in "export bug" XML output status: ghendricks is working on this
- 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
- 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
- Requestee input field is way too small - Patch coded, reviewed, approved, and checked in;
- 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;
