| 15:35 | Hrishi_ | #topic Work to be done in Phase 3 |
| 15:36 | walterbender | Let me jump in for a second. |
| 15:36 | My goal for you in Phase 3 is to make this something James would be willing to incorporate into the build | |
| 15:36 | ibiam | +1 |
| 15:37 | Hrishi_ | build? |
| 15:37 | ibiam | Sugar |
| 15:37 | Hrishi_ | Yes, what in what way? |
| 15:37 | walterbender | so maybe a review of the current work with James to surface all of his concerns ASAP would be a first step |
| 15:37 | Hrishi_ | walterbender: that is Dashboard and Tamagotchi right? |
| 15:37 | walterbender | (I see two directions: added to the standard build or stand-alone apps |
| 15:37 | I think we need both) | |
| 15:38 | But James is the release manager so we need to get his buy in. | |
| 15:38 | samsongoddy | Incorporating Dashboard as a feature or an app? |
| 15:38 | ibiam | +1 |
| 15:38 | walterbender | I think Dashboard and Tamagotchi can be two separate decisions. |
| 15:38 | But his critique sooner than later is really important. | |
| 15:39 | Are the scaling issues sorted out? That had been a blocker. | |
| 15:39 | ibiam | From one of James' emails he suggested we implement tamagotchi as a feature of sugar |
| 15:39 | walterbender | anyway, that is my two cents re Phase 3 |
| 15:39 | ibiam | I haven't gotten the perfect cell sizes yet that aligns all cells |
| 15:40 | samsongoddy | The scaling is still an issue from what I have tested |
| 15:40 | walterbender | so maybe plan to fix that early in the week and try to schedule a review with James end of the week? |
| 15:40 | Hrishi_ | walterbender: He did gave us two paths to follow. a) Make it a core part, which would require some effort as Dashboard won't act like an activity anymore 2) Continue as an activity and keep it optional |
| 15:41 | walterbender | I think both options should be able to share most of their code. |
| 15:41 | ibiam | Yeah |
| 15:41 | walterbender | Would be great to have option A available |
| 15:41 | ibiam | +1 |
| 15:41 | samsongoddy | +1 |
| 15:41 | Hrishi_ | ibiam: I did decrease spacing and decreased pie-chart radius, that should make a difference (if you tested this week) |
| 15:41 | (also samsongoddy) | |
| 15:42 | ibiam | A difference for the pie chart window? |
| 15:42 | samsongoddy | I haven't tested this week |
| 15:42 | I will do that | |
| 15:42 | Hrishi_ | So what should I do about the Dashboard? Continue as an activity (or) Also start working on making it a core part |
| 15:43 | ibiam | There's little work left to make it an activity, I think we can complete that while also implementing it as a part of sugar |
| 15:43 | Hrishi_ | And if I am doing this, what about the Journal-like activity? Should it be ditched? Should I help in other's project if I complete early? |
| 15:43 | walterbender | Let's make it super robust as an activity. But also do it in a way such that the code itself could be reused in a dashboard much like the control panels appear. |
| 15:43 | samsongoddy | +1 |
| 15:44 | walterbender | Hrishi_, we can worry about other projects if/when you finish this one. |
| 15:44 | Hrishi_ | walterbender: Yes, what about the Journal-like activity for phase 3 though? |
| 15:45 | walterbender | In some sense, the dashboard as an activity solves some of that. It is an alternative view from the Journal and it can show the way for other Journal variations. |
| 15:45 | So really getting that right is critical path | |
| 15:46 | ibiam | Agreed |
| 15:46 | Hrishi_ | Agreed |
| 15:46 | So..this week I will be finishing the Dashboard activity and move some of the parts to core? | |
| 15:47 | But how should the Dashboard be launched if it's a core part? A button in Journal perhaps? | |
| 15:47 | ibiam | It won't be launched |
| 15:47 | walterbender | Maybe to start, as a control panel option? |
| 15:47 | ibiam | It can be part of the control panel |
| 15:47 | walterbender | would be simple |
| 15:47 | and then we can discuss with James other integration points. | |
| 15:49 | Hrishi_ | A control panel option, so it will open as a window? |
| 15:49 | ibiam | Yeah |
| 15:49 | How other parts of the control panel opens | |
| 15:50 | Hrishi_ | I could try to make a working prototype this week? |
| 15:50 | See how it goes | |
| 15:51 | samsongoddy | Gre |
| 15:51 | *great | |
| 15:51 | Hrishi_ | Any feedback about the Tamagotchi widget? |
| 15:51 | ibiam: Tests are fine right? | |
| 15:52 | ibiam | So far yes |
| 15:52 | Rebase your branch with the master branch so we can test collaboration along too | |
| 15:52 | Your code doesn't change it but I noticed something some time ago | |
| 15:53 | Didn't look into it though | |
| 15:53 | Hrishi_ | ibiam: Ok will do. |
| 15:53 | I did a rebase past week if I remember | |
| 15:53 | walterbender: Any comments? | |
| 15:53 | samsongoddy: Have you tested? | |
| 15:54 | ibiam | Hrishi_: I'll get you the values for the cell sizes but if I can't get the perfect values, we might have to let the cells get to the end of the screen |
| 15:54 | Also the scrolled window works as expected on the xo | |
| 15:55 | walterbender | No comments at the moment re Tomagotchi |
| 15:55 | Hrishi_ | ibiam: Yes, scrollbar was fixed last week. I am fine unless the cells touches the edge of screen, that won't look good. |
| 15:56 | But if you test this week you might get different/better results because as James suggested that the issue was with heatmap cell, which I think I fixed by decreasing column spacing | |
| 15:56 | So let's complete Dashboard this week (with the test results you provide) and start moving it to core | |
| 15:57 | ibiam | Agreed |
| 15:58 | Hrishi_ | Anything else to discuss? |
| 15:59 | walterbender | not from me |
| 15:59 | looking forward to seeing this work land in Sugar | |
| 16:00 | ibiam | Nothing from me |
| 16:00 | Hrishi_ | walterbender: Thanks. I will try my best. |
| 16:00 | Thanks for your time | |
