Feature Requests:
Message Notification
I dont often have msg and when I do I see them when I login but was curious if we could add a feature to see if you have unread cms you get a notification say next to the area where it saids your logged in.
Like Logged in as my_user_name (1) New msg. so users that are viewing other areas of the site can simply see if someone is trying to contact them.
Decision:
This feature is already in development and will be included in future releases of Dinah.
Sig Generator Script
I just read catfancy's post on one of the forums on project ideas for visual design...here's a good one...
A Dinah coder'll have to look this over, but I think it's a great idea - CF said something about making some generic signature images - well I'd like to propose using those blank images in a signature generating script for CA members.
I dont know much about mod_perl (actually I know nothing) but I thought we could put a little sig generator script on the site somewhere. It would use your rank image (so Troopers couldn't use a CinC image, etc), and then have a few fields you could use to add text to the image. Default fields could include Your name, then your main position, then a sub-position or something.
Decision:
None yet.
Away List
There should be a member "away" list somewhere on the site. Since the date and time of the moment the away was set is recorded in a database already, it'd be a cinch to print out to a list. You could link to it on the member's forum MOTD or in the wiki somewhere or something. This'd also clear up the "I forgot to set that I was back" problems with members too lol.
Oh, and it might be a good idea to put "You are marked as Away" in the /my sidebar up by where the link to our message box is too - that may halp people remember to set back when they come back. lol
Decision:
It was decided that a public list isn?t necessary, but that it would be a handy tool for C/Os and Brigade Commanders. No further decision has been made.
Tell-A-Friend about CyberArmy
Yes, it is exactly what the topic makes you think it is ;) I think it would be a good idea to have a 'tell-a-friend' function somewhere on the CA site, so members can quickly and easily tell-a-friend about CA.
I know it sounds pretty lame, however I think more people would tell friends about CA if all they had to do was fill in an email address and click 'submit' (for the uber lazy ones maybe we could make it so that they can submit multiple email addys at once >:) ). I know I would >:)
Decision:
No definite decision yet, but outlook is positive.
zZine RSS News Aggregation
Now that Firefox 1.0+ has been released, and downloaded over 30 million times I would like to see the rss feeds for the various articles offered as "subscribe"-to bookmarks in Firefox. A good example of this is found on newscientist.com and slashdot.org
That was your articles could be read and stored automagickally through the bookmark feature and without resorting to endless searching on zZine or google.
Decision:
It will be implanted very soon.
Brigade cMS
I know this has been mentioned before, but I wanted to 'officially' bring it up. Can we get something so we can cMS our brigades?
This has a huge potential to spam, but if only C/Os can do it then I think that will eliminate that problem.
Decision:
C/Os already have a function with which they can cMS the people directly under them, but the submitter of this request meant a function with which a C/O can cMS everybody under him. No decision has been made yet.
Decision:
They will be updated.
We hope you enjoyed this edition of the Feedback Digest! One quick reminder: if you encounter any bugs/errors on CyberArmy.net or the brigade sites, please submit a report to Feedback!
