Hey Michelle and Heidi, This is a really great list of list of next steps. Can you two take these JIRAs, prioritize them, and put them into a UI Options roadmap page in the wiki? Once you've got the plan into the wiki, use it as your FLOE to-do list over the next month or so.
Here are a couple quick comments about a few of the specific issues you mentioned: * http://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-2616 This one probably needs a bit more elaboration in the JIRA. Perhaps there are actually two separate issues here? Firstly, it sounds to me as if the problem is that UI Options doesn't fetch its own templates, expecting the user to do it instead. The second issue, which is related but not the same, is the fact that we don't ship any built-in means for hiding and showing UI Options nicely. Can we split this ticket into two and describe the issues a bit more? * http://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-3761 It sounds like we'll implement this as a series of preview strategies. So step 1, which you guys have started on, is to parameterize the Preview as a subcomponent. The two obvious strategies we'll want to create will be the "inline sample preview" (the one we currently have) and the "whole page" preview like we want to do for the IDI site.
