:'''<walter>''' the journal is most important
 
:'''<walter>''' the journal is most important
 +
:'''<walter>''' the first step would be to make a clear distinction between the xo-icon and my-icon in the codebase
 +
:'''<walter>''' not critical...
 +
:'''<walter>''' the journal is most important
 +
:'''<tomeu>''' walter: do you have already an idea of what changes in the journal UI are most urgent?
 +
:'''<tomeu>''' everybody seems to have a different idea each ;)
 +
:'''<walter>''' @tomeu: the most important things in my mind are: robustness; easier access to journal items (e.g., access from the home page); and a better way of managing the data as it grows.
 +
:'''<walter>''' Robustness is really the datastore
 +
:'''<walter>''' I think the discussion about tags is a good way to address the management issues
 +
:'''<walter>''' but I think the bulk of the journal "spam" as Albert likes to call it, comes from the fact that people don't access the Journal more directly--we need to make it an extension of the homepage.
 +
:'''<tomeu>''' yeah, we see some consensus growing on that
 +
:'''<tomeu>''' I think we definitely should get that one for 9.1
 +
:'''<walter>''' I had some UI ideas that Eben/Pentagram never liked about making the journal a direct extension of the Frame
 +
:'''<tomeu>''' 0.84
 +
:'''<tomeu>''' oh, haven't heard about it
 +
:'''<walter>''' Just like the clipboard is always there, relevant journal entries could always be there
 +
:'''<tomeu>''' some kind of "recent documents"?
 +
:'''<walter>''' yeah.
 +
:'''<walter>''' or recent objects, once you are in an activity
 +
:'''<walter>''' Eben I think wanted to do this with a tray instead
 +
:'''<tomeu>''' I'm not sure we'll have much time to do changes in the journal UI for 0.84
 +
:'''<tomeu>''' so we should choose well what gives most for the price
 +
:'''<walter>''' I don't expect that level of change, but I think the datastore ideas from last January could support this model
 +
:'''<tomeu>''' for now, I think the tags stuff is too much for 0.84 unless someone volunteers to help
 +
:'''<walter>''' When we think about what we optimize in terms of access...
 +
:'''<tomeu>''' walter: yup, increasing query performance is one of the main goals of the rewrite
 +
:'''<tomeu>''' we are already much better and can improve significantly
 +
:'''<tomeu>''' more
 +
:'''<walter>''' That's going to make a huge difference... the foundation has to be there first.
