Custom Bug Listings checkpoint 2011-12-16
Summary
- The feature will be ready to leave beta early next week.
- Deryck is fixing a number of timeouts, all other Criticals are in progress, all but two Highs are in progress. Wow!
- It is currently broken for non-Firefox users, so we're pausing the beta until the fix lands on Monday.
- Orange will change the default information displayed, based on Dan's survey results.
Actions from the previous check-point
Orange: land the improved spinner. DONE. Decided to put it at the top as people are likely to be changing the sort order or the listing, so they'll be up there anyway.
Orange: test the load that pre-fetching puts on the data centre. NOTHING FORMAL DONE. Aaron and Robert talked about it, based on how it's working on qastaging. Agreed that they're not going to use it.
Orange: investigate and fix timeouts. IN PROGRESS.
Diogo and Dan: check how important it is to be able to specify field visibility via the URL. DONE. Diogo asked people during interviews. No one felt strongly. We'll wait and see if people need it.
Huw: investigate if using media queries and responsive design techniques could solve the wide-screen versus narrow screen issue. DONE
Huw: make the text in the status and importance icons easier to read. IN PROGRESS
Huw: address the weighting and arbitary colour problems with the status and importance icons: users tell us status is more important but right now importance is easier to spot. IN PROGRESS
Orange: hot bugs page to merged with +bugs. DONE
