Talk:Flow/Release planning

Meet 2014-01-28

Jan-March ("WMF Q3")

MVP

WikiProject talk -> Q4 article talk

beta

Initial workflows

• unblock
• deletion

later

• movement
• straw polls

Ideas

Workflows as extensions to the Flow extension that we can enable/yanked/remove

When and how do we move beyond "Flow team enables pages in PHP"?

2014-05-11 Zurich Hackathon discussion notes

To be clear,

• new front-end
• sorting topics
• search within board/filtering

are still high priorities to do this quarter

Subscribing to individual threads

• most important next project
• key to helping active users keep track of the conversations they're in
• connected to notifications

Notifications

• connected to individual subscriptions
• showing new responses in threads you're subscribed to
• notifications link you to the unread messages in the thread

Chronological conversation

• big change
• quoting existing post instead of reply underneath
  • what was Werdna's idea?
  • spage idea: do it implicitly if user makes selection
• work that needs to be done: community acceptance

Quoting

• great idea
• showing the div is ugly
• May: somehow limit people from editing the quoted material

Tagging threads

• unclear how this would work
• it's in the "Feed" vision, but no architectural support

Voting

• probably a new kind of workflow
• also the idea of +1 for a post, which isn't a new workflow but is a feature of existing posts

cross-wiki notifications

• technically hard, have to query 800 wikis right now
• unlike Flow, Echo isn't cross-database
• depends on global user accounts.
