[15:52:09] halfak, How are you planning to implement Mr Stadivarious' suggestions? [15:52:36] I have quite a bit of discussions to do with you on that whenever we can [15:54:11] (Right now, I'll leave, because today is diwali for us :) ) [16:01:59] tos2: Not likely in the short term. That take a lot of developer time and there's a long line. [17:04:18] tos2> halfak, There are some short term ones that can be implemented [17:04:18] [22:31:41] Those are the ones I'm talking of [17:04:40] Like what? [17:05:57] The first one, which everyone mentions, is they dont see the point of only classification [17:10:05] And I'm back [17:10:14] halfak, Did u get what I meant? [17:10:31] No. What is a short term fix that I could implement? [17:11:54] "Classifying new users allows the Snuggle software to better judge who the good faith users are" [17:12:24] "Snuggle is a tool that helps you find good faith new users" [17:12:41] yup. [17:12:59] ^ We could add descriptions like these in the very first window opened using snuggle [17:13:59] I don't think that is a good idea. We already have limited space in that window. Why should we bother users with this explanation every time them come back to Snuggle? [17:14:19] I think that a tooltip on the classifier makes a lot more sense. [17:15:04] Whatever you think is better [17:15:33] I just think that if we tell people about how snuggle can be used, they'll be better able to use it [17:16:10] OK, I've prioritized this change goes behind Oauth and HostBot support. [17:16:28] It turns out that 95% of people who use snuggle figure out what classification does and does not do immediately. [17:17:54] Err, My point is that people figure out that they CAN classify, but not WHAT HAPPENS NEXT or WHY CLASSIFY [17:18:09] Yup. That's what I'm talking about. [17:18:57] I think this would be a major hindering block for potential snugglers [17:19:13] The data suggests otherwise. [17:20:07] If my interviews mean anything, the biggest "stumbling block" is that proactively looking for newcomers to support is not an activity that Wikipedians generally engage in. [17:23:48] Hmm... I was planning to work on Snuggle a bit for J-mo to help him connect up with HostBot today. I could throw a tooltip in place. I'm thinking that it will appear in the pop-out menu of the categorizer. [17:23:59] If I only devote a half hour to it, it won't be pretty. [17:24:06] I dont follow [17:24:17] What part? [17:24:33] J-Mo part [17:24:45] What don't you follow about it? [17:25:44] What exactly are you planning to do? [18:06:18] Hey. Sorry I got pulled away for a bit. I'm planning to try to add a tooltip to the pop-out menu for the categorizer in what little time I have for it today. [18:06:26] tos3: ^^ [18:06:46] Ok [18:07:31] Tme to go [18:07:41] Byo and happy diwali :) [18:08:17] :) Have fun!
