*STATUS COMMUNITY REVIEW
*demo
*login as administrator/password
*alpha.p2pu.org/en/reviews/pending/
*Fix before release:
*Combine current "Pending" and "Under Review" tabs
*Terminology
*Pending -> New course
*Accepted -> Reviewed  (maybe "approved" is a better word, used more
commonly in sites) I'm very nervous about terminology like approved or
accepted - it implies that by default new courses are not approved,
and creates a new power hierarchy -ok, how else to communicate?
calling it "Reviewed by the community" or "Listed"
*http://alpha.p2pu.org/en/reviews/projects/test-webmaking-101/review/
*Mark as Accepted. -> Mark as "Reviewed" (also, remove end "." for options)
*Work on after release
*Make this a discussion / public review process that becomes a visible
part of the course page
*users have to request review
*add notifications
*STATUS LEARN PAGE
*Push without design updates, if possible. We should have community
input on designs upcoming.
*demo: alpha.p2pu.org
*Hidden functionalty:
*append infinite_scroll=on to the url get parameters (e.g.
http://alpha.p2pu.org/en/groups/?infinite_scroll=on) to test autoload
alternative
*featured=popular and featured=updated -- Popular and Last updated
sections not completedly removed yet
*under_development=on, archived=on, closed_signup=on -- courses in
this categories are not shown unless this paramenters are passed
*Other details:
*order: from new to old based on course creation date
*links on the site:
*main nav bar, p2pu home, dashboard, ...
http://alpha.p2pu.org/en/groups/?reviewed=on&featured=community
*Browse at school home page
http://alpha.p2pu.org/en/groups/?reviewed=on&school=3
*Tags at courses' sidebar
http://alpha.p2pu.org/en/groups/?reviewed=on&tag=Tag%203
*Under development: ajax to avoid reloading page when using the filters
*Fix before release:
*Layout: Avoid "Community Reviewed Only" line break in the Filter
*Happens in Chromium (will be renamed to community reviewed when
filters gets renamed to Show Only)
*Make filter button not necessary (checking and unchecking the box
will cause the filter to updated)
*"Search Tags" should be more tags, we don't want users to think that
this is a search funcitonality. Should be an autocomplete tags
dropdown like this: http://cl.ly/12271V3v0G0m0C1G3k2B
*little big planet has a neat tag search http://lbp2.me/  &
http://lbp2.me/search?t=newest
*Enable selection of all languages (could be done by adding a checkbox
in front of Language)
*Fix after release:
*Bring back the "Popular" option but review the logic/algorithm behind it
*How will users discover under devlopment courses if they want to
(most users don't, I presume but don't know)
*Update the categofies of "featured" courses
*Make the "community picks" a *real* community pick, based on some
aggregate opinion of the community
*Include a "showcase/highlight" section (which works like the old
"featured" option)
*Discussion:
*Will we check if the Tags features is useful?
*google analytics for /groups?tag=something
*Are "Community Picks" really "Community Picks?"
*Not at this point, it's the new name for the previous "featured"
courses functionality
*Clarification: Showcase (currently called Staff Favourites in the
Demo is the previous featured functionality). Community picks works
similar but instead of having a site admin marking courses as
community picks we can have reviewers marking them when theydo the
community review process.
*Issue with production server
*diagnosis?
*It looks like we were out of RAM.
*threads
