July 29, 2014

Sprint team except Jmo

Agenda

Form Wizard updates from Jeph
Toolkit updates from Heather
Debugging

Decisions we made

Forms wizard works in Grants namespace only right now, and we're ok with that. Can create broader solutions later.

Next steps

Jeph

debug why create an idea button is now broken
debug why the fix to add-me didn't work
add class for error message to non-logged in users
working on expansion (un-hardcode link & look into dropdown functionality)

Heather

Toolkit page changes:
- tweak toolkit link details
- make 2 buttons on toolkit page: gadget needs to know grant type is being selected, so add 2 class names in the div for each (expand & IEG, expand & PEG)
- hide social media links until they work
- make userbox code usable on any wiki
- remove profile snippets and instead make it a suggestion to view people page (& go link there)

Siko

test autofill creator form to confirm it works
turn on new probox in idealab later this week if we get to that point (will need to copyedit intro & preload templates :)

July 25, 2014

Sprint team

Agenda

Form Wizard
Toolkit
Form Wizard expansion
Probox

Decisions we made

Not deploying Forms Wizard today, but turning Probox on in IdeaLab's existing template workflow (which will need some fluffing)

Next steps

Jeph:

P1:

auto-fill creator for form wizard (don't surface to user)
add blue bar to all inputs
remove error message legacies
add same error message for non-logged in users as we do for logged-in
deal with the error message issue
fix toolbox redlink

P2:

look into dropdown functionality as part of expansion
un-hardcode link as part of expansion

Jonathan

look into link wrapping in probox
update toolkit link: icon on left, stack words under timestamp, bump up font size
deploy forms gadget today
idealab probox turned on in existing template workflows (including edit intro + preload update instructions for roles)
TPS probox ready for Siko/Heather to turn on in existing template workflows

Heather

tweak toolkit link details
make 2 buttons on toolkit page: gadget needs to know grant type is being selected, so add a class in the div
making social media links work (jeph might help later)
making userbox ugly code show
change profiles to just link to the people page

Siko

update config files for Ideas & TPS
copy edits in IdeaLab preload/edit-intro templates after Jmo's pass

July 18, 2014

Sprint team

Agenda

Form Wizard development: current status, bugs, test results, next steps
Form Wizard expansion: review spec

Decisions we made

Toolkit must be a thing by Monday
deprioritize infobubbles (ie. "this title is taken", "you have reached your character limit for this field") are deprioritized for V1, but will be added to the requirements for V2 (post-Wikimania)
deprioritize fix how we add hidden infobox fields. hidden fields in infobox can only be added within a selectionList-type dictionary in the config. This dependency is not ideal, since not all Form Wizard instances will have selection lists. However, we don't need to fix this for V1.

Next steps

Jeph

fixing remaining technical bugs

hardcode timestamp
role params should start at 1, not 0 (example: community_organizer1)
fix bug where having the userscript installed makes the main IdeaLab/Ideas page look weird

fix remaining UI bugs (to match Heather's mock)

single-line text fields (like title) should be 100% width (currently too small)
"back", "cancel", "done" should be right-aligned
"back" should have transparent background, like "cancel"
more vertical spacing needed between elements — see mock
more padding needed around text of single-line text fields. See mock
hint text in single-line text fields should be italicized

Done add goals section to IdeaLab + html comment
add explanation text as universal feature: there should always be room for a line of text between title and interactive element
after above is done Monday, start looking into Expansion features

*add ability for idea-creation to specify a toolkit subpage in config (create a subpage of the idea with a configurable name, which substitutes a specified template)

Jmo

setup & testing configs (make configs for all portals, test them out)
finalize page names & start documentation page placeholder
move toolkit page to template namespace

Heather

send check mark icons to jeph
toolkit first pass done by monday

Siko

copy edit pass on idea-creation config after Jmo's pass

Decisions we made

Next steps

Heather

toolkit
then move to expansion mocks

Jeph

finish UI work on forms gadget to match Heather's mocks
separate configs for each instance of the gadget
fix jmo's version of IdeaLab in config file to make "project idea" field hidden to form-creator, and add in text to match mock (bold instruction, non-bold explanation)
mark off fixed bugs
finish fixing bugs and adding features on list

Jonathan

test ability to create hidden comments in config
config file updates for idea creation
provide Siko w/ links for form wizard deploy

Request re: bug tracking etc
Form Wizard - status of bugs and testing
Form Wizard - configs & templates big picture discussion
Form Wizard - next steps for MVP
Schedule - are we on track for Wikimania? how do we get on track?
Anything else?

Decisions we made

Next steps

J-Mo

test adding checkboxes to LP form
move dropdown to v2
spec expand idea functionality (so heather can mock that later)
still working on probox
restore default config & add back separate idea config
document translation workflow

Jeph

Heather

P1: send jeph agora styles for errors etc
P1: update mock for image creation
P2: toolkit

Siko

update sprint plan with reduced scope
schedule meeting with jeph to discuss future sprints

July 1, 2014

Siko, Jeph, J-Mo

Agenda

Form Wizard - create an idea

demo of Jeph's userscript

AddMe configuration

"learning patterns" endorse not working: keeps creating new section, doesn't scroll down

Decisions we made

We'll create 3 test configs: Idea, TPS, Learning Pattern
We'd like form wizard to pull from a page template for each type of page, if possible. These are the existing templates (some tweaks will likely need to be made for each):

Next steps

Jeph

explore options for using a pre-existing page "template" for each new page created with the Form Wizard, rather than including all info in the config
explore options for allowing the user to pre-populate 3rd and 4th level page sections with input from Form Wizard fields (possible in V1, or save for V2?)
bug fixing for AddMe gadget
look into test cases & automate regression testing for Forms Wizard if there is time

Heather

create mockup for Form Wizard v1 (as discussed previous week):

how field validation will be shown to the user (example: green checkmark if title page does not exist, red 'x' if it already exists)
how default image and image preview will be displayed
how we will alert users to character limits on fields
how we will prompt users to search Wikimedia Commons for a custom image

Form wizard v2 mockup (create IdeaLab profile, turn Idea into complete proposal)
Idea Toolkit & Idealab redesign is still on deck too!

J-Mo

update requirements documentation for Form Wizard (create an idea)
draft an initial set of specs for Form Wizard (expand an idea)
test Jeph's updates to the Learning Pattern AddMe config
create spot for bugs & feature requests on Form Wizard page
create test pages and configurations for Form Wizard v1 for Learning Patterns and TPS
create Probox setup for TPS
update Probox to set categories for Learning Patterns (pattern type), IdeaLab (roles and status) categories

Siko

turn current default into Idea config
Idea template cleanup, copy edits where needed

June 24, 2014

Sprint team

Agenda

AddMe configuration

making default role configurable (not always "volunteer")
is it configurable for use outside of Grants namespace?
"learning patterns" configuration not working

Form Wizard - create an idea

How do we show messages like

Word limit reached for textboxes
Field is mandatory

How does the image field work?

Are we going to validate the file name being entered? (Tick if found else cross)
Will it have an auto suggest dropdown?

Creating a new page ?

I assume sometimes the form augments data to a page whereas other times it adds new sections, if a new page do we show the title is available etc?

Section Headers

Are textboxes to be added to new sections?

Infobox

How do we generalise it to other usecases?

Form Wizard - expand an idea
Idea toolkit

status? questions?

Decisions we made

Form Wizard

Page name validation: When someone enters a page title or an image filename, the gadget will check whether or not a page with that name already exists. In the case of the title, the user will not be able to submit their form if a page with that title already exists. In the case of the image, the user will not be able to submit their form if a File: page with that name does NOT exist on their current wiki.
Custom image preview: When someone enters a custom image, the default image thumbnail that is shown in the dialog box will be replaced with a thumbnail of the image they selected.

AddMe

Configurable default role. Ideally, the default role for a project should't always be volunteer (for some project, you would want it to be "member" for instance). But we agreed that making this configurable, while "nice to have", is not necesary for the current sprint, so we're going to push it out for AddMe V2, after Wikimania.
Configurable outside of Grants namespace. Right now, the gadget only works in the Grants namespace. For AddMe V2 (after Wikimania), we will configure it to work on other namespaces: either a list of them (Grants:, Research:, Main, etc), or on any namespace.

Idea Toolkit

we will hold off on working on this until after next week's meeting in order to focus on other high-priority tasks

Next steps

Jeph

estimate whether implementing new validation/image preview requirements are feasible within our current project timeline
share a userscript version of the Form Wizard with the group for testing/feedback as soon as it is at least semi-functional (Friday)

Heather

create new mockup:

how field validation will be shown to the user (example: green checkmark if title page does not exist, red 'x' if it already exists)
how default image and image preview will be displayed
how we will alert users to character limits on fields
how we will prompt users to search Wikimedia Commons for a custom image

J-Mo

update requirements documentation with both V1 (current sprint) and future features
test Jeph's updates to the Learning Pattern config

June 17, 2014

Sprint team

Agenda

add-me gadget - quick touch-base about status of documentation, page names, bug fixes, and deploy planning
probox discussion
updated sprint schedule - team input, adjust as needed
forms gadget - specs, mocks, questions, etc
other issues?

Decisions we made

forms wizard v1 needs to support probox + page sections
we're not building tools into the forms gadget, though text boxes will support wiki markup
form wizard supports the following types: larger text entries, small text entries (w/ character limits), drop down, checkboxes, stepper, html for thumbnail of default image, link (to Commons or other specified page)
we're agreed on the updated schedule
Siko is on vacation next week, so please get requests to her before Friday for anything you need :)

Next steps

Jonathan

move all AddMe files again
deploy AddMe
document probox AddMe learning pattern feature request for future sprint
update forms gadget spec per today's discussion

Jeph

forms gadget framework

Heather

design toolkit page

Siko

post deploy update for AddMe (coordinate w/ Jmo)

June 9, 2014

Sprint team

Agenda

add-me gadget bugs
form wizard spec & mocks

Decisions we made

title created in input box, before forms wizard is initiated
step 1: short summary (required), problem/solution (optional)
step 2: participants (change to checkboxes, choose #, add a way to say "nope, I don't want to spec any of these right now"), image (modeled after wikilove workflow, optional)
when the person hits save to create page, gadget can created some more blank sections for things like goals, participants, endorsements sections etc (depending on the template for whatever kind of page it is creating)
we want the wizard to be flexible enough to create different kinds of pages: ideas (+adding on to become PEG & IEGs), TPS, learning patterns
it should support creating bulleted lists, different sections, various probox parameters, join or no join gadget, etc
will stick w/ current way that meta handles languages (en + translate extension), revisit multilingual creation after gsoc project makes that possible
some of us might meet again later this week to discuss generic forms spec in more detail, if needed

Next steps

Jeph

fix last bugs on add-me gadget
add-me documentation
start work on forms gadget

Jonathan

finishing probox refactor & looking at remaining bugs
update form wizard spec for idea creation w/ decisions reflected
add "generic" form creation info to spec

Heather

rev2 on mock, updated w/ new decisions we spec'd today

June 3, 2014

Sprint team

Agenda

should there always be a default role (like volunteer) for someone to join? If not, how do we prevent/discourage joining of projects that do not want/need participants, even in a default capacity?
scoping fallback options for users without JS enabled
scoping fallback options for non logged in users
- scoping options/messages for users who try to "join" or create an idea when not logged in
review Idea Wizard requirements
- Toolkit
  - Social links
  - Suggesting project participants
review Probox bugs
decide whether to support creation of Ideas in languages other than English through the Idea Wizard
- Temporary non English support.
Howto from an idea to a grant? If we can't move then what?
Generic form structure, shouldn't the form be customize able for different grants?
UI elements offline

Decisions we made

join button appears when parameter for more participants=yes
whenever join button appears, probox shows "this idea could really use: volunteers" (+any other roles for which there are open parameters)
there needs to be js fallback
gadget should work for non-logged-in users, w/ a clear warning message.

Next steps

Jeph

log & fix bug re join gadget breaking when other templates are on page
fix open endorse bugs (especially extra spaces in section titles)
add error messages for IPs:
- "You're not logged in! Joining will add you as an IP address. To add your username instead, please cancel and login first."
- "You're not logged in! Endorsing will add you as an IP address. To add your username instead, please cancel and login first."
combine endorse & join into 1 gadget
update documentation for 1 gadget to rule them all
