#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 |

*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 |
