-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 As anyone who've been following along in #ubuntu-motu, I've been working to roll out a series of upgrades to REVU in a hope to bring it more in line with 2008 in terms of usably and look. The first of these major updates, openid based login to Launchpad, hit production today, and has brought up some concerns.
The largest one is that Launchpad's openID server is incompable with NoScript because OpenID requires a POST to the Launchpad login server. As I don't use NoScript (I find AdBlock Plus alone works well enough), this went by undetected by both myself and anyone who beta tested the code. Personally, I don't believe that its too much to ask to require people put a noscript exception given the fact that by using OpenID since it allows removal of revu-uploaders (the current production REVU doesn't use the revu-uploaders group in any way) As we al know, REVU historically has required you to join revu-uploaders, and then hunt down an admin to get your key synced or updated, which I always felt was klunky, and rather clumsy way to do things. Now that REVU uses Launchpad IDs, it also grabs and imports/updates GPG keys as needed on each login from the individual users page, which I find is a much sleeker solution. It was pointed out to me though that having revu-uploaders though allows people to see how you have to be a member of a special group to commit to the archive. I personally don't see the point, as you still need to manage a username and password on REVU, and the upside of instant key syncs greatly outweights the downside or requiring finding an admin or waiting 24 hours for a key sync. Finally, I figure it should be addresses is that REVU also got a face lift concluding the openid upgrade. This was based off quite a few people's wishs who saw the new look on my beta server , and thus pushed it out to the production server. This skin is still a work in progress (and a tan option will be made available soon wish). Anyone wishing to comment on the new layout is free to either leave comments here, or (perferably) again the "REVU is ugly" bug. If enough people feel we should return to the old skin, I have no problem rolling it back.
