Yes indeed! Your reasoning below is very much in-line with how we've
been talking about the widget.

I think this workflow would require the view-collection web widget
along
with the QE widget. I don't see an obvious casual collaborator
workflow
for QE alone.
My enthusiasm for the QE widget derives from the GTD collection
workflow. (For non-GTDers, I mean the "get the idea out of your
head and
into a trusted place for later processing and organizing" workflow,
that
is, not Chandler collections.) The QE widget would mean less
emailing to
oneself, which typically then requires a bit of a somewhat tedious
routine of unstamping as mail, stamping as something else (or not),
drag
and drop to one or more collections, removing from Dashboard perhaps,
etc.).

Met with Jeffrey about the Quick Entry (QE) widget for iGoogle. Here
are our notes below:
WORKFLOW
1. Go to Chandler Hub - Click on QE widget in gallery
2. Click on iGoogle link - takes you to Google
- Do you want to add this widget to your iGoogle page
- Log into Google (if you aren't already)
- Yes
3. Goes to your iGoogle homepage - where the Chandler QE widget has
been instantiated
4. Log into Chandler Hub in the widget.
OPEN ISSUES
- Persistence of username/password is an issue - You really want to
be able to stay logged in across iGoogle sessions, otherwise the QE
experience will be substantially hampered
- We can store it in cookies in Firefox, but cookies isn't ideal
because you might have this weird case where somebody else logs into
their iGoogle homepage on your computer, but is logged in as you in
their Chandler widget. Freaky!
- Safari won't support storing the Chandler Hub username/password in
cookies.
Solution? So I'm wondering if we can just offer users an option to
store their username password in their iGoogle account.
- There is a potential security hole (which Jeffrey thinks can be
patched up) where Google will pass your Chandler Hub username/
password to your browser and then if you click on a link from within
the QE widget?, your username/password will be logged as the
'referring URL'.
Jeffrey and Travis had created the option for users to configure the
QE widget with a collection ticket-URL. I suggested that we hold off
on this functionality for now as it complicates the mental model for
QE widgets and it's not clear if QE is really a 'drive-by / casual
collaborator' kind of workflow.
INTERACTION
- Grey out Send button
- Add a 'Clear' button which is greyed out at first, activates as
soon as you type into the text field and then turns to 'Undo' if you
hit 'Clear'.
- 'Undo' then turns to 'Clear'.
- Add grey hint text to the text field that shows people that the 1st
line will be used as the Title and the rest will be put into the
Notes field.
STYLING
- Tooltips?
- Custom arrow for pulldown
- Get rid of yellow outline
- Specify fonts, sizes and color
NEXT ACTIONS:
Mimi to go mock stuff up!
