Feature: the ability to quickly schedule hangouts from Discussion threads #1123
Comments
I just realized these two might be close enough to be combined: #1118 |
In the use case that you describe, where is this discussion happening? The forum, on Slack or on the CodeBuddies site? After a quick look around it looks as though you are describing the discussion. There is no reason the functionality shouldn't apply to all three. This feature sounds like it is aligned with the primary goal of CodeBuddies and it looks to help address the following explicit challenges:
|
Admittedly, I'm making the assumption that the discussion is centralized on the post within the codebuddies.org/discussions page. Otherwise, the discussion page itself doesn't serve much of a purpose for me. I have noticed that when I did make the discussion page, it did not generate a lot of traffic/views. Or at least, it's not clear if slack's higher activity de-incentivizes members from moving onto the website. |
@billglover It would be good to have a way for people to view a given thread from either the post on "Discussions" OR on slack. I noticed you have an app which can add github "issue" comments directly from there. Having a similar feature would be convenient for this and keep the flow organized by the thread on the website, but also organic, in the way active slack users can respond directly from the channel (that was added by the discussion-post when the original poster created it). |
I agree that giving flexibility for participants to create and participate in Discussion posts both from slack and from GitHub would be ideal. |
I notice the original discussions post has been removed. Are you able to provide a link to a discussion regarding hang-out scheduling to help illustrate the context. I've tried to illustrate what I think is being requested below. As I understand it currently:
New functionality requested:
I'd like to treat cross-posting of conversation threads between platforms as a separate topic for now. |
Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?
Feature.
What is the current behavior?
Discussion is made for a proposed CB Hangout, but there's no option for a quick reference to everyone's availability.
What is the expected behavior?
Once I've made a new Discussions post/thread for a Hangout Proposal,
A Calendar widget should appear on the left sidebar menu underneath "PEOPLE IN THIS DISCUSSION" on the left of the page.
The calendar should be formatted to show the current month with highlighted days that people have selected availability.
Which browser / OS are affected by this issue? (An isolated way to reproduce the bug)
I use Fedora 29.
