Introduction
This file describes our ideas for what to show when a commit is made. Right now, svnwiki is rather unfriendly when you commit, and we'd like to make life easier for users. Besides, users have to wait until svnwiki finishes updating the static pages, and it might be confusing for users. In short, let's make user's life easier. Ours too.
Show while generating
The following is what svnwiki will show as the result to a commit:
Your changes have been saved.
A new revision (9348) of weblogs/arhuaco/ley-cine was generated with your changes. The website is currently being updated to reflect this.
( ) Generating PDF file for: weblogs/arhuaco/ley-cine
At this point you can:
- (1) Go back to the edit form and continue making changes.
- (2) Preview how the file is going to look once published.
- (3) Go to the currently published revision of the file (which may not reflect your changes yet).
- (4) View the differences between the previous and the new revisions.
About the order, I think this is the best. If you don't agree, please let us know. If you'd like to add another option, just tell us.
Ordering
- Arhuaco
- 1, 2, 3
- Azul
- 4, 3, 2, 1. I don't care about votes, only about justifications. :-) I also use as the criteria not what is the most useful and makes software the most friendly but what encourages the best behaviours in the users of the software. I'm thinking (undecided) it might be even better if we don't include (1) and (2) at all... we should definitely encourage users to preview their content before submitting it.
Explanations
The "( )" will be an image that is updated as progress is detected. Here is a prototype Azul made.
The "Generating PDF file for: weblogs/arhuaco/ley-cine" will be constantly updated to reflect the latest thing the AJAX code has detected the post-commit process is doing.
Now we don't show the diff (but it is still available as a link). This should make the software more friendly.
