Hello all, I am User:TyA. I noticed on the [[Annoying large bugs]] page there was a request for a Request Queue and I'm interested in working on that. I have some basic ideas of how to lay it out, however I'd like to hear other's opinions on it as well. I'm also curious if it is still needed.
My current plan is to have 2 special pages, one for the requesting and the other for seeing the queue/examining the submitted items.
I currently have a rough draft of the Requesting form complete, [ http://i.imgur.com/zRAAyvh.png screenshot]. However before going too much further, I wanted to get some feedback on whether I'm collecting enough info, or maybe not enough.
My plan for the actual queue page is to have it create a table or list that will give the current status of the request as well as the requester, the submitted date, and the project name. The page will also accept /id subpages to load up information about a certain request so that it can be marked as done, not done, or needs more info.
Thanks
Thanks for thinking about this, TyA!
For reference: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Annoying_large_bugs#Very_raw_projectssuggests "A system to make, review and action requests for migrating or creating repositories in Git/Gerrit". (I believe some projects require a "which model of review do you want?" answer.)
TyA, would you be interested in turning this into a Flow project?

I would recommend you talk to Chad (^d/^demon), It would probably be nice if this could interface with our Git/Gerrit setup so they can be created directly from within the interface.
As for the subpage idea, I don't think that would really be needed, It's one of the areas where we could just store information directly within the database without using the wikipage model for storage.
You would probably need more than two special pages to cover a few things
-> Request Overview page (Table Format/Options to filter based on certain features) -> Request Creation page -> Request Management page (Edit/Update requests/Action the requests etc)
