Hey all,
This likely isn't a news flash for most of you, but the Jenkins GUI
isn't great, but what might be news is that there is an active effort
to make it a lot better. As part of that effort, I will be pushing out
content, showing prototypes, concepts, and the occasional critique of
the current GUI. The goal of this media push by me is to get you to
holler back and help steer the effort towards actual improvements that
matter to real users.

I like the direction set in the presentation, but it would great if you
could work more on the configuration page of jobs. You can see how
important it is just browsing through all the plugins that attempt to
fix problem of changing job configurations (e.g. Job DSL plugin).
For me it would help a lot if I would be able to collapse build steps.
The more complicated the job is the more steps there are and it becomes
harder and harder to change its flow. Smart collapsing would allow to
easily glance through the configuration and add new step in the middle
of the process. I've made a proof-of-concept of this smart collapsing
and attached it to this issue:
https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-27484?filter=-2
Please have look and good luck :-). I know changing GUI of old software
is always hard on many levels ;-).
Regards,
Nux.
