[1] on the client of course.
We now have something very similar to this on the Reserve Workflow page. We have bug 619335 about the Provision tab, I imagine the solution will be to make it use the same UI as we have for the Reserve Workflow. |
Picking a distro on "Provision" tab is very inconvenient. The distros page is much better - at least has a search capability. But it lacks e.g. the ability to pick family and tag from list. Could we use a (dynamic AJAX?) tree for easier navigation? May be AJAX would be just an overhead and we could easily cache the whole tree - creating and keeping a separate JS file on server, which would be cached with expiration set to 6 hours or so? This could save CPU and bandwidth as people often access the tree again and again. The file would be regenerated when distro is added/removed/tagged. / breed / OS Major / OS Minor / arch / variant / tags Also showing some marks for tags with name would be advantage. This would be useful in Reserve page as well. Sci-Fi?
