Dear Ciell and all,
In the last days, we submitted two new bug reports (#330 and 331).
Regrettably, there was no response, nor was there any visible activity
on the previous ones. Even their priorities were not assigned. For
example, it is dismaying to see that the voting statistics (#325) has no
priority.
What makes things worse is that the two last bug reports are not about
mere inconveniences in the grading process. They basically make the
grading impossible, at least within our campaign #965. We are not sure
what causes these issues and why they were not seen before. With 20000+
images, the campaign is quite big compared to any of the WLE campaigns,
and these critical issues started to appear after a few thousands of
images have been voted. However, we could certainly handle over 20000
images before. The inability to do it now is truly discouraging.
Therefore, I would like to ask again on the concrete timeline for
addressing these issues. We need a clear perspective. Otherwise, we will
have to search for alternative solutions, because Montage (in its
current version) is unusable at the moment, at least for us.
Thank you in advance,
Alexander

Thanks for submitting the issues in Github both!
It's interesting that these did not surface in previous Montage
campaigns we had this year. Since the new front-end, and the backend
update, we already had Wiki Loves Folklore, Wiki Loves Earth and Wiki
Loves Africa, plus several smaller photo competitions that use the tool
for their jury process. The developers are now accessing the cause of
these errors, and will follow up accordingly.
Best,
Ciell

Hello,
one of my collaborator (for WLM in Sicily) added a report on GitHub
aswell (https://github.com/hatnote/montage/issues/327 <https://
github.com/hatnote/montage/issues/327>).
I'm writing here to follow up for the point number 3 and 4:
3. About the "previous votes editing" it is true that you can only see
15 images; ok for performance reason but I'd expect or a "load more"
button or multiple pages scrolling. Maybe a bit related, sometimes it
says also "thank you, you voted the full set" while it is not true or
the loading is delayed.
4. Interface errors – keyboard voting causes UI jumping (When voting
with the keyboard arrows, the interface jumps up and down
continuously):
as you know, is possible to accept or decline an image also with up or
down arrow; without a large screen, the page (especially the right
column with informations) will not be fully displayed but will have a
scroll bar, so when pressing the arrows (especially if you alternative
upvote and decline) the content will move up and down.
Both Antonino (who submitted the issue on GitHub) and I have already
completed round one, so we're unable to record a video to demonstrate
the (minor) issue.
As the campaign coordinator, I'd also like to point out that the
"Voting
Details" tab is empty and does not display the pie chart with the votes.
Best regards,
Giovanni Pennisi (User:GiovanniPen)
