Datatracker PLAN
|
||||
================
|
||||
This was extraced from the Datatracker PLAN on 9Jul. Items from the PLAN were moved into tickets.
|
||||
|
||||
Updated: $Date$
|
||||
|
||||
Planned work in rough order
|
||||
===========================
|
||||
|
||||
* Transition to PostgreSQL. This will make it easier to start using
|
||||
timezone-aware timestamps throughout the code, which will make it easy
|
||||
to present localized times on web-pages. It will also provide additional
|
||||
tools for performance analysis
|
||||
|
||||
* Investigate making RFCs first-class document objects to faciliate being
|
||||
able to model BCPs that represent groups of RFCs properly. Then fix the rfc sync
|
||||
script to update BCP aliases when changes occur changes (a BCP points to new
|
||||
RFC numbers)
|
||||
|
||||
* Polish the htmlization pages, making the style identical with tools.ietf.org.
|
||||
|
||||
* Investigate adding code to trigger test exceptions for template variables
|
||||
that don't successfully resolve. A small trial run of this has indicated
|
||||
that most instances that trigger such exceptions would benefit from better
|
||||
resulution -- i.e., in the trial, it didn't seem that we to any greater
|
||||
extent have template code that is written to rely on failure to resolve
|
||||
rendering as nothing.
|
||||
|
||||
* Add django pagination to selected pages with long lists of results in order
|
||||
return results to the user faster.
|
||||
|
||||
* Change our web asset handling from the current bower-based (which has been
|
||||
deprecated and gradually more and more unworkable) to a yarn-based setup.
|
||||
Short-time the effect of not having the web asset updates in mkrelease is
|
||||
negigible, but long-term the lack of this means that we may miss
|
||||
security-updates to web assets.
|
||||
|
||||
* (EXTERNAL BID) Reworked UI and refactored backend for the scretariat meeting
|
||||
scheduling tool.
|
||||
|
||||
* Add support for internationalised email addresses according to RFC 6531
|
||||
when sending email (this is not supported by smtplib under Python 2.7,
|
||||
so will need python 3.x).
|
||||
|
||||
* Test suite improvements. Reduce and seek to eliminate causes of differences
|
||||
in code coverage between runs in the same and in different environments.
|
||||
|
||||
* Rework email subjects for messages relating to documents to consistently
|
||||
start with the document name.
|
||||
|
||||
* Revisit RFC author ordering and author information based on rfc-index.xml
|
||||
|
||||
* Revisit photo uploads: Add photo upload for people with roles. Add
|
||||
photos to wg pages and group overview pages.
|
||||
|
||||
* Revisit floorplans: Add room coordinate input tool (javascript).
|
||||
Add NOC object annotation possibilities. Add support for break areas
|
||||
on multiple floors (probably means modelling break areas the same way
|
||||
as other sessions, and removing the break_area char_field on Meeting.
|
||||
|
||||
* Add the ability to volunteer for Nomcom when logged in to the datatracker.
|
||||
|
||||
* Transition to using timezone-aware timestamps. Migrate database timestamps
|
||||
to be timezone-aware. This means converting all timestamps to PST8PDT,
|
||||
except for meeting-related timestamps, which use the meeting.time_zone.
|
||||
Once done, set USE_TZ to True in settings.
|
||||
|
||||
* Add support for document shepherding reports, possibly re-using or
|
||||
generalising some of the review plumbing. Check with IESG for details.
|
||||
|
||||
* Performance analysis of database table and index setup
|
||||
|
||||
* Refactor Document and types into Document subclasses, with conditional code
|
||||
in views and utilities moved into models and overridden models where
|
||||
handling differs between document types.
|
||||
|
||||
* When draft XML source is available, take references from that instead
|
||||
of extracting them from the text version.
|
||||
|
||||
* Integrate better author data for RFCs from either the RFC Editor or from
|
||||
running the author extraction script on newly published RFCs.
|
||||
|
||||
* Add an FK to person from author, and use that instead of the unknown-email-*
|
||||
addresses to connect documents to authors when no email address is available.
|
||||
(we still need to keep author email addresses in order to know which
|
||||
address to associate with a given authorship, when we have an address).
|
||||
|
||||
* Review places where we display persons' names but link to email addresses.
|
||||
Some of those probably should link to the person's profile page, instead.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Notes
|
||||
Updated: $Date$
|
||||
===========================
|
||||
|
||||
* Small nomcom refactoring: associate Feedback records with Person
|
||||
instead of User.
|
||||
|
||||
* Consistency fix: in settings.py, name directory settings consistently with
|
||||
..._DIR; reserving ..._PATH for settings with PATH semantics (':'-separated lists
|
||||
of directories)
