1. Feature Requests for Kampala Release

• Desired outcome: Discuss and decide on pending feature request that need attention
• See TWikiFeatureProposals

• DragAndDropAttach - by Timothe
  • Timothe checked it into trunk
  • Feedback by PTh:
    • The feature is very cool.
    • A bit confusing to have file upload button and drag&drop on same screen.
    • The comments and properties are "below the fold", and the d&d upload is a direct action, so not clear that the comments and properties are taken into account.
      • So for comments and attributes it might be better to show them above the d&d area.
      • Or better yet, do the upload to a temp space, and user needs to confirm upload, at which point the upload is committed.
    • Issue with the old spec that the attach new file, update existing file, and change properties of existing file are all one and the same screen. This issue could be solved at the same time here.
    • When you d&d a banned file it just says "failed" and user has no idea why.
    • Recommend to remove the "audio clues" checkbox to reduce the clutter; in return, add a preferences setting where audio clues can be turned on for visually impaired people.
    • Hide help in twisty to reduce clutter.

2. Extensions

• Desired outcome: Get everyone in sync, coordinate enhancements
• See WebChanges in Plugins web

• WysiwygPlugin - bug fixes by Hideyo-san
