Hi Judy,

okay. Then this is probably stopped, as no one has supported this and you block this. I hope you are available on the matterhorn users-list after the release to explain to adopters how they can activate the episode management in their release.

And just to make sure that this #proposal doesn't go thru without further

(This doesn't mean you can't change my mind, i.e. if my design counterproposal 
is really harder to implement that it looks..but really all I'm asking for is a 
move from top-level navigation to a subnavigation.)

While I agree that the Episode service is very valuable, from a UX perspective, 
I think it is a mistake to have it available by default exactly as is, for many 
reasons that I have explained in the earlier thread [3]. The mockup you point 
to, Rüdiger, is the more ambitious one that I understand we can not possibly 
implement at this time. I did also, however, propose two simpler approaches, 
which keep the two UI's (one for looking at workflow instances, the other for 
managing media packages) on separate pages but do not make them seem so 
completely unrelated and do not introduce potentially confusing terminology. In 
particular, Approach 2  [4] changes very little (I believe, perhaps naively, it 
would be very easy to implement), but simply makes both UI's available under 
the Recordings tab. I would like to propose this (or something very similar) as 
a counterproposal.

Hi list,

in the developer meeting today the question came up why the Episode UI [1] is 
not activated by default. Several people have not noticed this feature yet 
because of this.

There was some discussion on this UI when it was created and there was not been 
a concensus on this UI. So the solution to this was to deactivate by default. 
There were some

But the Episode service is one of the main enhancements in 1.3 and anyone in 
the dev meeting today felt sorry that most users cannot use it because of the 
hidden UI.

There is already a proposal on how to combine the workflow and the episode 
service in the UI [2], but implementing this is out of focus for 1.3 and maybe 
even for 1.4 as no one has himself commited to this feature yet.

So the proposal is to active the "episode" UI despite all concerns, with no or 
only minor changes (changing the name of the tab i.e.). We want to avoid a long 
discussion that may delay the release, as we hope that the release is only one release 
blocker away... so let us keep the discussion short and give your +1 or -1.

Thanks
Rüdiger
