--------------------------------------
Summary: Make finding [VOTE][RESULT] easier
Key: WHIMSY-381
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-381
Project: Whimsy
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: SecMail
Reporter: Craig L Russell
Assignee: Craig L Russell
One of the most labor-intensive parts of secretary mail is finding the vote for
a new committer. The work flow I use is:
copy the public name of the new committer
move to the [lists.apache.org|http://lists.apache.org/] tab that I have open
paste the public name into the search all field
search for messages with the person's name
find the message with subject [VOTE][RESULT] or similar
click on the message header to open the message
find the (link) button
right click on the link button
scroll down to (copy link)
move to the file tab in workbench
paste the link into the vote result field
According to [~humbedooh] :
[lists.apache.org|http://lists.apache.org/] has a JSON api, so it should be
possible to make a snippet that does this for you. Steps 6 through 9 can be
done by right clicking the subject line in the search result and copying the
link from that, as that is the permalink.
What I'd like to see is a right-click action on the public name field in the
icla form that would construct the appropriate lists.apache.org url, send it to
lists.apache.org, and display the result in the panel to the right. Then right
click on the proper message copies the vote link to the clipboard where it can
be pasted into the vote link field.
Any volunteers? I don't have the skills for this one...
