Dear Trac developers, especially Christian (cboos) and Simon (osimons)
 
The discussion in ticket #6492 about timeline icons [1] has taken a
different turn than I expected, and I am afraid that my last comment,
comment:35, may be interpreted as I am not interested in the refactoring
problem.
 
I am writing here (instead of cluttering up the ticket even more) that this
is not the case. I do understand, and appreciate, the concerns raised by
Simon in comment:23.
 
My intention (which was stated in comment:32 but perhaps lost in the debate)
is that the discussion about this should perhaps be moved to another ticket.
 
However, we can of course not ignore the fact about the refactoring "issue",
which I feel makes my proposal, concerning the timeline icons, problematic
to handle.
 
Simon proposed that I change the implementation to start with (comment:23),
instead of refactoring the timeline event interface. I can understand that.
However, I want to add more logics to the timeline module, which will
require even more changes (highlighting ticket ownership, for instance).
Each such change will require yet more tweaking of the tuples.
 
I see two possible scenarios for the development here, which I would like to
discuss:
 
1. First we accept Simons proposal, by "reverting" the refactoring of the
timeline interface made in the patches that I have supplied so far.
Thereafter we re-factor the timeline event interface (coordinated by a
separate ticket).
 
2. The opposite: first re-factor the timeline event interface (coordinated
by separate ticket), then a re-make of the timeline icons proposal.
 
I am willing to do either, for me it's important that we agree on which
should come first, and that we think the functionality, demonstrated by the
patches I presented in comment:27, makes sense and are wished for.
 
What's your opinion?
 
Sincerely Yours
Mikael Relbe (mrelbe)
