paulsherwoodSotK: would it be trivial to have a useful search list appear as homepage by default, rather than empty?12:56
paulsherwoodseems dumb to force users to click to see something12:56
SotKpaulsherwood: probably, does the list of active stories seem sensible?12:58
paulsherwoodSotK: yes, that would seem like a logical first step... ideally most recent activity at the top13:01
paulsherwoodunless someone else has other ideas?13:01
persiapaulsherwood: Have you tried it when you are logged in: it might make more sense that way.13:12
paulsherwoodpersia: that's a different use-case :)13:13
persiaFor users who are not logged in, I think the projects page is likely to be most interesting.13:13
persiaAlthough others might prefer the stories page.13:13
paulsherwoodSotK: next up, what's with two search bars, and 'New story' plus 'Create a story' ?13:13
persiapaulsherwood: Since it's OpenID, most folk are likely to be signed in most of the time.13:14
paulsherwoodpersia: i disagree.13:14
persiapaulsherwood: Why?  Once one signs in, it is tricky to sign out.13:14
paulsherwoodi believe most folk will see the first page without being signed in, at least once :)13:14
paulsherwoodfirst impressions count13:14
paulsherwoodanyways, my own preference for how to improve uis is to try changes, get feedback, change again13:15
paulsherwoodwith as little friction on trying the changes as possible13:15
persiaAh, right, while the majority use is unlikely to be unlogged-in front-page, everyone encounters that once, so every user needs to be happy with that default.  I withdraw my objections.13:15
paulsherwoodi dislike changes getting bogged down in review by sw engineers who, by the time they're qualified to review, are no longer competent to assess how things appear to new users :)13:16
SotKpaulsherwood: I think the difference is that the big search bar applies filters to the list of stories (or projects, if that's where you are), rather than searching like the small bar in the header does.13:19
SotKI don't know why there are two buttons to create a story on that page :)13:19
* paulsherwood was commenting in general, not re storyboard. he's had lots of bitter experiences with users in other places13:23
*** mrmartin has joined #storyboard13:23
paulsherwoodSotK: do they do the same thing, or something different?13:23
* paulsherwood discovers that after clicking on 'New story' while not logged in, he is routed to Ubuntuone sign in, from which 'back' doesn't work and hence escape is impossible13:25
paulsherwoodis that specific to your instance, SotK ?13:27
* SotK gets a popup asking him to log in13:27
SotKI get the popup on storyboard.openstack.org too13:27
paulsherwoodyup, maybe it's the correct behaviour. just seems a bit odd to me,that's all13:28
persiaIt's an OpenID thing: it isn't safe to allow that sort of navigation, or one can fake it ith javascript.13:29
SotKpaulsherwood: they do different things, start typing `st` for example in each one and the small box will start showing a list of things (eg tasks, stories, projects) with "st" in, and the big box will show a list of filters with "st" in (eg StoryStatus:Active)13:30
SotKoh hm, looks like the big box can be persuaded to perform a normal search too13:32
SotKpaulsherwood: I managed to escape by clicking back twice in quick succession13:33
paulsherwoodSotK: heh :)13:34

SotKpersia: http://86.166.184.10/ is now updated with the changes I made today, if you want to have a look17:58
SotK(it also doesn't hang for a minute when you first access it now)17:59
SotKfor the curious, it was slow yesterday because I was running it with the live reload script which automatically refreshes stuff when the code changes18:05
SotKfor some reason that was timing out when loading the page18:06

persiaSotK: As a layout, I like it.  I think you need a storyboard patch to differentiate the different context preferences (as I can't seem to cause adjustment in the events timeline to do anything).19:41
persiaMind you, I'm testing not-logged-in, so maybe it's more complicated then I think.19:41
persiaBut to confirm, that was precisely the UI I imagined.19:41
*** jtomasek has quit IRC19:44
* paulsherwood likes it too20:16
SotKhm, thats weird, adjusting the events timeline seems to be working fine to me when not logged in20:17
paulsherwoodis it possible to login to your instance? i get an error when i click that button20:18
SotKpaulsherwood: ah, not from the public IP apparently, one moment20:19
SotKshould work now20:20
