I think it's great that you, Emilio, and others are taking such interest in
the tool. I've found it immensely helpful in solving common problems in
getting info from clients--and having that information in one, central,
web-accessible place.
My initial solution was quick and dirty and it could definitely use some
improvements. I think it would be excellent if those interested could map
out a plan for these improvements. My concerns are that it stay easy to
implement and flexible. I primarily use it for doing prototypes. I do
prototypes in a non-Fusebox environment very deliberately, as I want the
prototype to be able to be handled by non-programmers. This is part of my
overall development methodology. It's important for me to be able to tack it
on to what the user interface people are doing. That's my quick 2 cents
worth of inputs to a new DevNotes program. Should we continue the discussion
here or should we set up a DevNotes list on something like topica.com?

Subject: DevNotes WAY cool! Call for suggestions...
Hi all,
I think that Hal's little utility is turning out to be so useful that we
should all give it a little thought. My clients are over the moon about
this - I have rarely seen such a positive reaction. Basically, I make a
quick mock-up, cardboard application, drop the DevNotes into the footer, and
the clients are happily occupied. As I flesh the application out
Of course, like Emilio, I have made some mods of my own, especially
noteSUBtypes, so can have a SUGGESTION about LOOK-AND-FEEL, or a QUESTION
about TEXT/CONTENT.
Anyway, my point is that I don't want to have a non-standard version off the
main-line of future development. I think this little app warrants a bit of
thought from all of us, with the aim of arriving at a version that addresses
95% of the needs for 95% of us.
So, I'll start my wish-list from Hal's original:
- email notification, including the text of the note
- email SUBJECT attribute
- email FROM attribute
- responses (ie answers) to ALL types of note
- uploads for ALL types of note
- completed flag for ALL types of note
- archiving of "deleted" notes, for inclusion in historical report
- note Subtypes
- integration into more substantial bug/feature tracking application??
What do you all think? Hal, what about you?
Thanks everyone,
Lee (Bjork) Borkman
