Just a few ideas for things I'd like to see/see changed in Launchpad.
I'm a documenter/translator/bug finder, so developers, bear in mind
that my requirements may be rather different to yours =)
- Seems to presume a "developer" mindset. As someone who's more likely
to be doing test/QA, I'd rather be able to see "bugs opened by me"
than "bugs assigned to me" (obviously, this doesn't have to be the
default - but it'd be nice if it was configurable)
- No obvious way to sort bugs by column (searching with "by XXX" sort
of works, but inverting the order isn't possible)
- When translating, the bar at the top has Launchpad > Ubuntu >
Release No > Package Name - I'd prefer to be able to click back to the
translation page (with %age done stats etc) when I'm done, rather than
be stuck in the package, and have to navigate back to the translation
page.
- In the "translation" part, what on earth does Plural expression:
n==1 ? 0 : n==2 ? 1 : 2
mean? Irish has three forms - singular, dual and plural... I presume
it's related to that, but really, it could do with being clearer. If
it's something I'm meant to be able to use in translating, it's
definitely not working!
- While we're on it, what do "translation unchanged since last
synchronised", "changed in Rosetta" and "newly translated in Rosetta"
mean? If the first one means that the English string hasn't changed,
that needs to be clearer. I've no idea whether the second one means
that the English or the target language has changed, or whether the
third one means that it's a new string, or a new translation of an old
string... Help!
- "Most recently registered" Launchpad products is interesting, but
"most recently used" would also be good to have, maybe in the right
nav somewhere?
Thanks!
