ZaraI'll try to review the markdown patch this afternoon; quick look at it on Friday suggested it was fine but I like to err on the side of caution.:)09:35
SotK\o/ thanks :)09:35
Zaraand hopefully now that flat drama is over I will be able to focus for a change.09:35

* SotK starts thinking about how to discover kanban boards and worklists in the UI10:35
SotKMy current thoughts are a list of boards and worklists related to a project on that project's detail page10:36
SotKplus a list of any boards/worklists a user can see on that user's dashboard somewhere10:36
SotKI worry about the dashboard becoming cluttered though10:36
SotKDoes anyone have opinions on that? Or thoughts on other ways they could be found?10:38
Zarahm, not sure. I can see why people would quickly want to see worklists related to a project10:43
Zarasee if it's active etc10:43
ZaraI think there definitely has to be a link to a user's own worklists on the dashboard, fwiw10:43
ZaraI think of a dashboard as being 'your stuff', so you have at least your subscriptions and your todo list there.10:44
ZaraI'm less sure the detail page is the right place for worklists to be linked, but I guess it comes down to how people use it10:46
Zaramight need to ask around and find out where people would expect it to be?10:46
Zarathe projects (containing stories) themselves might convey all the information that someone is likely to want from a worklist10:48
Zaraunless that person is trying to work out what a specific team of people are doing10:48
Zarain which case might make sense to look them up via users. ehhhhhhh I'm not sure.10:48
SotKZara: the information you can't get from the list of stories in a project at the moment is priority10:52
SotKso I'm imagining a "priorities for liberty" list or similar being linked on the detail page10:53
SotKlooking up via users is interesting10:53
SotKthat would probably be useful from a project management perspective, for a manager to look at information on what team members are up to10:54
Zarayeah, I thought different groups would have different priorities, so I'm wondering how we'd get a list on a project page that was informative but wasn't massive.10:54
Zaramaybe it'd be better to say the number of (public) worklists a story was currently part of, or something? and then one could search whose?10:55
SotKperhaps if there was a way for people (ie. the PTL) to choose which worklists to display on the detail page?10:56
* SotK wonders if persia has opinions on this too?10:57
persiaI don't believe in default worklists: I think it's entirely a personal matter.11:00
persiaIf I have a team, I would probably share the URL to my worklists on a wiki page or something.11:01
persiaIf I'm looking at a story, I might be curious as to which worklists the story belongs11:02
persiaThe idea being that if I think I might want to work on something, I would be curious who else had the same feeling.11:02
persiaFor a logged-in user, having a list of one's personal worklists is probably important.11:03
*** mrmartin has quit IRC11:09
SotKok then, that makes sense11:18
ZaraI noticed there was a story about teams being able to upload things to storyboard (like UI mockups, etc).11:25
Zaramight be a useful thing to have in the future, though I'm not sure that storyboard is the place for it.11:26
Zarabut for worries like dashboard clutter, could be handy.11:27
persiaI've always been a proponent of having storyboard contain links to other things, rather than uploading content.11:59
persiaThat said, I never found a good way to do UI mockups.  I *wanted* them to be candidates submitted for review, but I never found a good way to cause UX folk to work effectively with git.12:00
ZaraOkay, I'd be inclined to agree that storyboard should just link to things, tbh. perhaps openstack needs a dedicated project for storing UI mockups (and so on)... I guess there might be one somewhere already; there are so many openstack projects!12:02
persiaThere is some special UX thing: I remember seeing a demo, but I don't remember the link12:03
Zara(as for working with git, I can see why it wouldn't really be present in many people's workflow, if the commandline isn't used as much for UX work. probably a question of getting better interfaces for non-commandline git, but iirc those are terrifying.)12:04

Zarahmm, there's stuff listed here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/UX12:14
ZaraI don't have an invision acct so I can't see much more about it rn. Not pressing, anyway.12:14
*** mrmartin has joined #storyboard12:15
Zarabut it looks like invision's the tool the horizon team use, anyway.12:15

* SotK wonders how the above discussion on lists/boards fits in with this: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/StoryBoard/Task_Lists12:59
SotK(I guess that is where the idea for lists/boards linked on the project page came from)13:00
*** mrmartin has quit IRC13:01
SotK(also the "We want worklists" bit in here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/StoryBoard/Priority)13:03

Zarahm, heading 'straw man' fills me with confidence in the argument xD13:41
SotKjust noticed I changed completely the wrong thing in .eslintrc in that markdown patch...14:24
Zarahah I still haven't looked at it today ^^'14:24
Zarayou could've gotten away with it14:24
Zaraomg it took me forever but I got it working14:33
ZaraI swear I just did the same loop/ if-else I tried on friday14:33
Zarabut this time it worked14:33
SotK\o/14:33
* Zara shrugs and keeps shrugging until her shoulders function as wings and she flies off, or something.14:34
Zarai can science.14:34
Zaranow to test this until I inevitably discover that it's filling in the wrong stars or something.14:34
* SotK crosses fingers14:34
ZaraI HEARD THERE WAS A SECRET CHORD, BLAH BLAH BLAH, HALLELUJAH14:35
Zarabrb being a musical prodigy.14:36
Zaraquestion-- I named my list of subscriptions 'subsList' as a shorthand while hacking around. I was going to change the name to something more sensible, but now that I think about it, I'm not sure it's that weird to start with.15:22
ZarasubscriptionsList isn't much fun to type, and the line-length limit adds an extra challenge...15:22
Zaraso, is this something I should change or not?15:23
Zaraseems like it's clear what it is, but I'm too near this code to tell, really.15:23
SotKcalling it `subscriptions` would probably be fine I think15:29
Zaraokay, I think I avoided that because I didn't want to confuse it with 'subscription' in the subscribe directive15:30
Zarabut it is the most sensible word for it.15:31
persiaSotK: There exists a difference of opinion between myself and the authors of the Task_Lists page: I don't think there is anything special about a task list created by a release manager or a PTL, but others do.15:40

Zarabut the subscriptions stuff is all going well; could do with some tidying but it's functioning as expected so far.16:29
*** mrmartin has quit IRC16:35
Zarahm, stories are behaving a bit differently to projects... will look at this tomorrow.16:48
