Lyons - Front-end Work Items

Notes from December 8th, 2008 meeting

Work items for this week! Yay!

• Karen:
  • Special page refactoring (Recent Changes and Watched Pages)
  • Since API is not doing any work towards Watched Pages, we'll hold off on that refactoring and just convert to a Special page
• Guerric: 
  • Notifications via email implementation in code
    • Endpoint in /deki/ folder?
  • Continued refactoring of user object inside Deki
  • Implementation of user preferences using user properties (Specia:Userpreferences) refactoring
• Jessica: 
  • Markdown implementation of CP improvements (IE6, IE7, FF2, Safari testing)
  • Notifications UI flow wireframes
    • Some key points: 
      • Keep the interface as simple as possible
      • Not restricted to using dialogs
      • Do not attempt to merge Watched Pages + Email notifications into a general "Subscription" view
      • User preferences will determine the delivery mechanism, but since we only have email, no need to specify it yet
  • Properties UI
    • Two views:
      • Generic "power user" view for setting any property key/value pairs (similar to config screen?)
      • Specific use case for setting metatags to a page as a separate interface
• Roy:
  • File update script
  • Tagging new UI
    • Mockups first, then implementation
    • Need to wait for Pete to finish partial matching for autocompletion
  • Restrict dialog UI mockup
  • Tagclouds (put off for now)
