Diagnostics addition: colored text to code problems
Last modified: 2011-11-06 23:24:38 UTC
Thinking of ways to improve the Diagnostics interface, both for us internally but also for helping customers with issues. Proposal: Provide colored feedback to indicate problems creating an at-a-glance UI. This could either be by coloring the actual text, or by adding a "light" element that is colored. (the colored light indicators are inspired by Sean and Ben's original diagnostics feedback. see bug 6334.) Some examples: * WiFi signal strength has dropped below a defined threshold so we display the number in RED. Or the indicator next the number is now a RED light. * Device cannot ping mySqueezebox.com. Display "Failed" in RED. Or the indicator light next to it is now a RED light. Most of the information can be classified into a Green, Yellow or Red state. Or even just Green and Red. The exceptions would be the ethernet and wireless connection status *if* that method is unused. (if we're using ethernet, then the WiFi should show RED, but it should show RED if we're using WiFi.)
Targeting for next release
this is an administrative shuffle on priority fields to help make better judgment on the top end of the priority list. P4->P5, P3->P4, and P2->P3.
cc'ing Matt Weldon for his comments
Ben notes we need to be careful of colorblind users with this solution. Matt notes he needs to talk to Dan about the cases in which this is important. Dan, since Matt is notoriously busy, you might want to proactively contact him about it.
moving current p2 bugs to p3 to make room for moving p1.5 bugs to p2
re-assigning Seth's bugs to Matt
Administrative move of 7.5 bugs. All P2, P3, P4 being downgraded one level. Will then split P1s.
Moving Matt Weldon bugs
Unassigned bugs cannot have a priority.
