persiapaulsherwood: I don't see any distinction between "lane" and "worklist", other than the spelling, and perhaps some logical guards to ensure that a single task does not appear on multiple "lanes" within some "board".13:28
persiaAnd there are lots of values to having worklists for tasks entirely independent of whether one happens to be using a kanban-like UI.13:29
persiaThe key issue is that a scalable task tracking system cannot have dependencies like automation that means "blocked-by-customer" automatially goes into someone else's "incoming".13:29
persiaInstead, one needs to have metadata that allows one to generate that class of functionality in complete awareness that anyone else can suddenly chose to do something in complete ignorance of what items any other person happened to put in a worklist.13:29
persiaMost of the rest of it can be handled by pointing automation at the API13:29
SotKI've been thinking a bit on the idea of "semantic worklists", eg. a worklist with a rule that it should contain all tasks who have status:review14:12
SotKI imagine such worklists should only contain tasks14:13
SotKI also assume that one could set constraints on things other than just the task status, so as to not end up with ridiculously large lists14:14
SotKie. jrandom user can create a semantic worklist with the constraints "status:review, project:foo-project" which will always show tasks which are in "review" and part of "foo-project"14:15
SotKrather than needing to create a list of every task in the database that is in review14:16
persiaThat sounds fairly useful, but I'm not convinced everyone can understand the name: I know I like the word "semantic", but I'm unconvinced everyone has the same value for the term as I :)14:16
SotKindeed, I'd like it if a better name sprouted in my head14:17
persiaMaybe "smart lanes" or something like that?  Mind you, some folk don't like apple-inspired lingo.14:18
* SotK imagines "add a smart iLane in your iKanban dashboard" ;)14:20
persiaheh14:22

paulsherwoodpersia: re worklist vs lane - agreed15:37
paulsherwoodwhat's wrong with lane, and special lane? i know it's a bit basic15:39
SotKI worry that "special lane" just makes me wonder what makes it special15:41
*** jcoufal has quit IRC15:43
* SotK ponders "filtered lane/worklist" or similar15:49

persiaI asked a collegue, who suggested "automatic worklist"16:33
SotKI think I like that16:34
