Hi Jeffrey,
I have created a wiki page to track the QE workflows and mockups. I'm
not sure about the hint text yet. Need to find something that is more
helpful than confusing ;)

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!
