Hi everyone,
A few of us met today to talk about automating the bug parade e-mail
content generation. Currently, bug parade can be time consuming to
organize and keep up to date. All of our planning work is done in JIRA
and yet with the current process we had to manually update both JIRA
and the bug parade e-mail. We talked through it and decided we need a
Bug Parade component that would read a feed from JIRA and generate a
nicely organized, human usable, bug parade list which would include
the status of the JIRA issues on the parade. Sending an actual e-mail
to the list would be the job of the person who is running bug parade
and the job of keeping JIRA up to date would lie with the developer
working on the particular issue. This should help to lessen the load
of the person running bug parade.
As he mentioned in his e-mail, Joan has started working on this
component.
I have a couple more comments inline below.

Hi.
Today i'm starting with "bug parade" component.
This is great news! Bug parade will be much easier to run when we have
this component built.
Looking at "progress-indicator.js" from scratchpad and from link in
the wiki.
Progress indicator is a good example of how we will use the bug parade
component. That being said, it was written quite a while ago and
likely doesn't make full use of the framework. I think you'd be better
off to use VideoPlayer as a starting example. It's a nice small
component and was written very recently so it makes full use of the
framework. You'll find it in svn here: http://source.fluidproject.org/svn/incubator/videoPlayer/
and served on the build site here: http://build.fluidproject.org:8095/incubator/videoPlayer/html/VideoPlayer.html
You'll notice that the VideoPlayer doesn't use externals to pull in
infusion but assumes that infusion is available as a sibling. This is
because the served versions of the incubator and the scratchpad both
include infusion at the top level. Of course you'd still need to
ensure that you have infusion in the correct place in your workspace.
VideoPlayer doesn't use the renderer and I'm certain that the bug
parade component will require it. I think the best place to start for
renderer information is the demo that Anastasia built for the upcoming
Infusion release: http://build.fluidproject.org/infusion/demos/renderer/demo.html
along with the documentation available on the wiki: http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Renderer
And of course, feel free to ask questions in the irc room or on list.
Tomorrow i'll try to create a new wiki page for the component and
also create a project structure similar to "progress..." in
scratchpad.
Thanks for the update.
