At least for the first iteration of this > feature (incremental improvement and all that). I think a bar would be easier than icons. If we choose, say, 3 levels, we have to decide into which level each bug falls. Which means we need to either choose arbitrary partitions, or calculate them. IMO, a really simple first iteration would be to have a bar sized directly proportional to the bug heat, with no log scale, and no variable colour. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
