This is about everything a fresh new member of the community encounters when trying to engage, so it includes making bug reports and feature requests as well.
It's also for now just personal notes/ideas, not really something I must do.
Bug reports
- No manual for filling up bugzilla because we assume people who can't fill it up will use KA instead
- Dialog box in Krita should lead to both Bugzilla and KA, and explain differences (link straight to the correct section)
- Easy way to copy the log content, and to save it as file. Possibly also as a zip?
- If possible, post the content already into the bug report if the user chooses that. (if it's possible with unlogged user). If not, make a ready-to-copy-and-paste content to put in bug reports. Maybe a form? That would make it easier.
- Links/actions both in the Help menu and on the Welcome Page.
Feature requests
- Challenges: too many ideas (see Godot proposals)
- Links in Krita to lead to KA (straight to the correct section)
- Update the Feature Requests Manual to be more useful these days
- Maybe make a form too?
- Links/actions both in the Help menu and on the Welcome Page.
Contibutions
Idea:
- All types of contributions should have a "home" on the forum.
- All of them should have a contact person
- Possibly also a list of current tasks
- They are all mentioned in two places: on the website, and on the Manual in the Intro to contributions
- Intro to contributions Manual Page
- Update the Website page to show the same things
- Link to contributions page from within Krita
- Person for contact for every category
- Make spaces on the forum for every category
- Intro topic for every category
Code
- We have building manuals
- It's nowhere explained when and why to communicate with the forum (UX, whether users want/need the feature etc.)
- Integrate both Merge Requests manuals, maybe
- Explain UX design on KA
- Explain Testing on KA (including where to get artifacts, and how to keep them! -> and to get a dev to keep them if they can't)
UX/design
Challenges:
- too many ideas disconnected from the dev team
- prone to bike shedding
- need more rules to be useful
- maybe only selected people can make posts?
- Figure out the rules
