'''Note, these are primarily Cww's initial thoughts and are very provisional. Please provide as much input as you can in this section!''' | |||
''P1'' Needs to have for launch: | |||
* List questions with the following data: | |||
** Votes | |||
** Date of last question update (that is if the asker edited his thread to include more details or if he answered followup questions) | |||
** If the asker has already found a thread helpful (can be a status icon) | |||
** If there are solutions proposed (can be a status icon) | |||
* Have predefined custom views/filters (tabs?) for: | |||
** Top questions by vote | |||
** Top unanswered questions by vote | |||
** New threads (possibly a random pick of stuff from the past X hours) | |||
''P2'' Should have for launch: | |||
* List questions with the following additional data: | |||
** OS/Version | |||
** First line or two of the question details box (expandable optionally would be ideal) | |||
** Tags | |||
* Settable custom views: | |||
** Tag | |||
** Certain OSes or Firefox version | |||
** Threads that I've participated in | |||
** Date range | |||
* Have views be bookmarkable | |||
* You should be able to act on threads from this view if you have privileges (delete, edit) | |||
* Data should be machine-accessible via some API for IRC bots and giant displays in the office. | |||
''P3'' Major features for after launch: | |||
* Should be able to add/remove/edit tags in this view | |||
* For moderators: highlight if threads have reported issues | |||
* Freely sort on columns in any view | |||
==Features by priority (dashboard view)== | |||
As part of this rewrite, we wanted to build a dashboard for (forum) contributors to go to after they log in to get an overview of the forum. This has not been fully sketched out and so are very very provisional. We may combine this with the threadlist above (with just a "toolbar" at the top). | |||
Ideas: | |||
* Show number of new threads since you last logged in | |||
* Show any activity in threads you've contributed to | |||
* Show how many YES this was helpful votes your solutions got | |||
* Link to your custom threadlist views (or let you customize and save views here) | |||
* Show top 5 or random 5 from certain views (like new unanswered or X tag) | |||
