Burgundaviahey bradb, just the man I was looking for03:19
bradbBurgundavia: hi03:19
BurgundaviaI have some ideas/thoughts regarding malone03:20
Burgundaviais now a good time to hear them?03:20
bradbBurgundavia: sure03:21
Burgundaviaalright then03:22
BurgundaviaUser Prefs03:22

Burgundavia-Email Prefs03:38
Burgundavia--Merge the validate with upper section, as I would expect all my emails to be listed, with a check box column listing them as validated.03:38
bradbBurgundavia: ok, so are you familiar with FOAF?03:46
bradbBurgundavia: FOAF, i.e. Friend of a Friend, i.e. the part of Launchpad you see under /people.03:46
Burgundaviaa little03:47
bradbBurgundavia: If you're suggesting a Malone improvement, it's probably something that you're seeing under /malone.03:47
BurgundaviaI remember hearing a little at mataro03:47
Burgundaviaok03:47
Burgundaviathen I do have stuff for that to03:47
bradbBurgundavia: If you're suggesting an improvement about how to better interact with your personal prefs, accounts, etc. that's a FOAF thing.03:47
Burgundaviaok03:47
bradbour FOAF guy is salgado, who doesn't appear to be around atm.03:47
BurgundaviaI will note that03:48
Burgundaviafor malone03:48
bradbBurgundavia: ok, so for the Malone-specific stuff, I'd be interested to hear about how you think it can be improved.03:48
Burgundaviamain malone screen03:48
Burgundavia-text jammed together when view of ff 1.0.103:48
Burgundavia-seperation between product and package?03:48
Burgundavia-you have lots of screen realestate, use it03:48
Burgundaviarespond to 1 & 2 and then I will discuss 303:48
bradbcan you give me a URL for #1? i'm not sure what you're referring to, exactly.03:49
Burgundaviahttps://launchpad.ubuntu.com/malone03:49
Burgundaviashould I show you a screenshot03:49
Burgundaviayes I am running Ubuntu Hoary03:50
bradboh, yes, I'm aware of that main screen ugliness. it was very recently introduced. ;) we've got some hardcore UI hacking happening in .ch at the moment though, so expect that to improve in the next week or two, i would guess.03:51
bradbfor #2, what's your question, exactly?03:52
Burgundaviaok03:52
Burgundavianot really clear in my mind what exactly a product is03:52
bradbBurgundavia: a product is the source code as it exists outside of any given distribution.03:53
Burgundaviaah03:53
Burgundaviathere is no mention of source code in there03:53
BurgundaviaI guess that finishes the main screen03:54
bradbBurgundavia: e.g. Mozilla Firefox.03:54
Burgundaviaok03:54
bradbBurgundavia: It's the "upstream" to the source package in a distribution.03:54
BurgundaviaI see now03:54
bradbit's the place where most of the bugs actually get /fixed/ :)03:54
Burgundaviahmm03:54
BurgundaviaI wonder how that could be made clearer?03:54
BurgundaviaI guess the other issue is03:55
bradbBurgundavia: the word "product" is sort of confusing, especially because we sometimes use "upstream" and sometimes use "product", and it's still not entirely clear which one is the best term.03:55
Burgundaviaare you planning on have seperate "main" pages03:55
Burgundaviaproduct is nice because upstream doesn't have much traction outside the dev community03:56
Burgundaviahowever, the confusion in the same community over product vs package is also bad03:56
Burgundaviasame == not devs03:56
bradbok, so first, separate "main" pages...for...?03:58
bradbevery "context" has its bug tracker.03:58
Burgundaviafor seperate use cases03:58
Burgundaviadeveloper, end user, etc.03:58
bradboh, not sure yet. i think it's expected that the UI will grow into something that looks a bit different depending on how you interact with the system though (so, you'd have different options to select if you're a sourcepackage maintainer v.s. an end-user v.s. a distro release manager, etc.)03:59
Burgundaviaok04:00
Burgundaviaas the current does everything, doesn't really work04:01
Burgundaviabut if there is ui love happening, sounds good04:01
Burgundaviaonwards then04:01
Burgundaviais there work happening on the bug screen ui?04:01
bradbBurgundavia: always. :)04:03
Burgundaviaok04:03
Burgundaviamy thoughts04:04
Burgundaviatype ahead for distro, ala the current bugzilla04:04
bradbBurgundavia: where?04:04
Burgundaviapossibly with the current stable as the top one04:04
Burgundaviasorry, enter new bugs screen04:04
Burgundaviawhich would elminate the ugly popup04:05
bradbBurgundavia: https://launchpad.ubuntu.com/malone/distros/ubuntu would be the page on which you'd file distro bugs (i.e. /malone/distros/<distroname>)04:05
Burgundaviaok04:05
Burgundaviais the other bug screen going away entirely then?04:06
bradbbut yes, we're aware of the less-than-ideal issue of using a popup to select one item from a list of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of options. we brought in a guy from the Mozilla project to help address that (for more than just selecting distros)04:06
Burgundaviayou probably can get away with that04:06
bradbyeah, the filing a bug screen that makes you type the distro will probably disappear shortly04:06
Burgundavialink to already reported bugs on that page currently goes to main screen04:06
Burgundaviaon Ubuntu page too04:06
Burgundaviablue sky about that: type ahead for summary, ala firefox with box beneath showing possibly related bugs04:07
bradbBurgundavia: Interesting. We've spec'd a UI for showing you possibly related bugs, but not using Google Suggest style widgets (yet.)04:08
Burgundaviadhtml+js is very very cool04:09

Burgundaviamy todo list is broken if you have nothing assigned to you04:12
Burgundaviajust shows all bugs04:13
bradburgh, yeah, the searching and those quick search links has broken in some of the bug filing screens. I'll sort that out in due course (i think there's already a bug filed for one of those problems, but if you can't find a bug filed for something that you find broken in Malone, bug reports are the best way to ensure that I don't forget to fix something. :)04:15
bradbs/bug filing screens/bug listing screens/04:15
Burgundaviaanother crazy idea04:15
Burgundaviasub todo lists for bugs04:15
Burgundaviasome bugs have several things that need to be done04:15
Burgundaviaso create a subtodo list04:15
Burgundaviathus if the bug was go to work04:15
Burgundaviasubtodo list 1 would be: get out of bed04:16
Burgundaviaetc.04:16
=== Kinnison is glad he doesn't have to get out of bed to go to work :-)
BurgundaviaKinnison: what do you think of my idee?04:17
=== Kinnison isn't convinced it's a brilliant plan
Burgundaviahmm04:18
Kinnisonwhy not just file bugs for the subtasks and make the primary bug depend on them -- or else have a proper todo/task manager which can relate several tasks to the same bug04:18
Burgundaviahey that works too04:18
Burgundaviabut what if people file (foo is broken)04:18
Burgundaviawhen it requires bar, baz, and bat to be fixed?04:19
Burgundaviaand each is a lengthy task?04:19
bradbBurgundavia: we're planning on building a todo app, which is the thing that will manage bug dependencies, i believe.04:21
Burgundaviabradb: hey, cool04:21
Burgundaviathat about exhausts my imm. thoughts04:21
BurgundaviaI am certain I will have more less than wonderful ideas soon04:21
bradbBurgundavia: the good news is, we're on it. pretty much everything you've said we've already either spec'd out (but not yet scheduled for implementation) or can at least see on the horizon, and have already done some thinking about.04:22
Burgundaviagreat04:22
Burgundaviaisn't being behind the ball great?04:22

Burgundaviasalgado: you do FOAF stuff right?04:27
salgadoBurgundavia, yeah, I do04:28

Burgundaviamerge the validation stuff into the main section listing emails04:29
Burgundaviaand make certain that all emails on record are listed04:29
salgadoBurgundavia, I don't understand exactly what you want to do. 04:32

KinnisonMe too05:16
Burgundaviahmm05:16
KinnisonWhen the people merging stuff is done we can fix it05:16
Burgundaviain addition, when I try and edit the task status of a bug, I get a system error05:17
Burgundaviabradb: ping05:17
bradbBurgundavia: hi05:20
Burgundaviabradb: attempting to update the severity of the bugs produces a system error05:21
bradbBurgundavia: ok, can you report a bug for that please? i'll forget otherwise.05:21
Burgundaviaok05:21
Burgundaviaand another thought about ui's05:22
bradbhttps://launchpad.ubuntu.com/malone/products/malone05:22
Burgundaviaclicking to get the task is, IMHO, not very discoverable05:22
bradbBurgundavia: yeah, we're trying to think of a better way to handle that row clicking, how to go directly to the task vs. the main bug page, if those might even become one page, etc.05:23
Burgundaviabradb: it took me about 5 minutes to clicking to figure that one out05:24
Burgundaviabecause clicking else where in the same row takes you some where completely different05:24
Burgundaviathe highlighting shoudl only be for the package when you go there, and the task when you go there05:25
bradboh, you mean on the bug main page you're clicking05:25
Burgundaviayes05:25
bradb(URLs help keep this stuff clear)05:25
Burgundaviayes05:25
Burgundaviahttps://launchpad.ubuntu.com/malone/bugs/25905:26
Burgundaviathe buttons at the top (bugs, translations, bounties) - those are launchpad bugs?05:26
bradbBurgundavia: that's some UI design reworking. i think that when those links work correctly, they'll take you to the respective views of whatever thing you're looking at (the translations in Ubuntu, the bugs in Ubuntu, the bounties in Ubuntu, etc.)05:28
Burgundaviabradb: yah, cause they are borked right now05:29
Burgundaviabradb: what does status accepted mean?05:30
bradbBurgundavia: the opposite of rejected.05:43
Burgundaviabradb: where should new bugs stay at accepted or new?05:43
Burgundaviadoes accepted mean they are a bug?05:43
bradbnew bugs are New.05:43
Burgundaviaok05:44
Burgundaviaand once they are verified to be a bug, then they are accepted?05:44
bradbyeah. to be honest, we don't have enough statuses yet (IMHO) to accurately describe the state of a bug task, so it's a bit ambiguous, atm.05:45
Burgundaviaok05:45
BurgundaviaI remember the discussions at Mataro about that05:45
bradbe.g. "rejected" can mean, wontfix (for which we have a priority instead), notabug, maybe worksforme, etc.05:45
BurgundaviaI am now about to make a dumb statement05:46
Burgundaviawhy do you have priority and severity?05:46
Burgundaviais low severity item not high priority?05:46
bradbpriority describes how important it is to fix this bug05:47
bradbseverity describes how big of an impact the bug has on the users affected by it05:47
Burgundaviahmm05:48
BurgundaviaI guess so05:48
Burgundavialike I said, I was about to say something stupid05:49
bradbBurgundavia: think about it. they is a different set of criteria to decide how important it is to fix a bug, vs. describing the impact that a bug has on the users affected by it.05:49
