Ok, I've been thinking about this for a bit. my
suggestion is this…
We create 3 more controls
- Dropdown <https://trello.com/c/bdpbPSZT/4-drawer-menu>
(can Juliusz's work on compact person bar be componentized?)
- Search Field <https://trello.com/c/MC8ovuyw/2-advanced-input-fields>
- Radio Button <https://trello.com/c/df2N2KJx/8-radio-buttons>
Finalize 2 controls
- Check box (disabled state, disabled checked)
- Vform (vertical padding)
Then let's make a Beta feature to allow people to test and see
medaiwiki.ui in context in vector(at least) and report problems.
I'd love to be able to provide a fixed element on screen that allows
someone to quickly and easily report problems with a control on a
particular page (isn't using mediawiki.ui style, isn't using right type
(progressive, constructive, destructive) and right style normal, quiet,
etc. and any issues around order or logic, e.g. on WTE Save should be the
rightmost according to mediawiki.ui guidelines and there are too many
Primary style buttons.
*Jon*, perhaps you could brainstorm a fixed header element that allows
someone to report an issue on their current page that generates bug reports
or emails or something along those lines?
Is there any way we could accelerate fixes reported by users more than our
normal time span of 2-3 weeks? cc'ing *Greg* for his thoughts here about
a way to do this without breaking things.
This won't be our first Beta feature that is more for learning and testing
with no plans to graduate but we should be clear that that's what its for
in the description on the beta page, so people can give helpful and
constructive feedback knowing that it will be an iterative process.
Like Erik said, we need to not be in a rush here. This thing is kind of a
mess and needs some basic design review first, before we charge ahead with
expanding the scope into new controls or a reporting tool like you
suggested. I also am very uncomfortable saying we should release a Beta
Feature we don't intend to graduate.
