Hi Who's interested in working to improve the usability of the History tab? What do you want to code?
I've started coding some improvements in the History Tab -- you'll notice a new map. Described a bit on my blog, http://brainoff.com/weblog/2011/05/05/1674 There are already some obvious places for improvement. * "big" changesets are no longer marked, but that was useful. Want to find some non-obtrusive way of visually distinguishing them. * would be nice to do a similar same thing with bots. Is there a bot flag in the db? * Need to set a minimum height on the map. * If the extent of a changeset box is very small relative to the map, it's not visible. Could possibly show these as points below some ratio threshold. * On the map, changeset is highlighted only on the border. If there are overlapping areas this is a problem. One possible solution is to add an additional invisible, thick border around each bbox. In the bigger picture * The real way to deal with big and bot changesets is to have this listing driving by OWL. What's needed to make that happen? * I'm interested in exploring how incorporating our trust networks improves monitoring. For instance, could highlight friends vs non-friends in the listing. * How could we incorporate more visualization tools directly, like ITOMapper? -Mikel == Mikel Maron == +14152835207 @mikel s:mikelmaron
