Description
|
Allows users to mark pages for review by moderators. Imagine Alice, a confluence user, creates a page in some space. This space has a moderator, Bob, whose responsibility it is to make sure that the content of the space is good, for some definition of good. But Bob doesn't have time to read every page in the space. What to do? With this plugin, Calvin reads Alice's page and decides that the page has some problems. So he Goes to the Review Tab and fills out a review. Bob, the moderator, has a page he checks daily that lists all the reviews for that space where he can see Calvin's report about Alice's page. |
|

ok....ok. Here's what I'm noticing as different:

I espacially like the fact that you can see all the reviews together. What are some of the limitations (if any), for instance if we have large space with 1000s of pages how do you ensure that you are scaling properly to meet the potential of 10000s (or even more) of reviews for the pages.
Where do you store all the review information. Can you export it out as XML/text etc.
BTW, is there a way of capturing all comments in a space in one single page? or even through a SOAP/XML-RPC API?

Well, it needs to be properly tested in a large environment. This hasn't happened yet. When/if it does I'll be sure to doc any gotchas on this page.
re: storing. It's stored in the global bandana context/file. So, it's basically saved as serialized XML on the server. To see the data as stored, after you've got some reviews, go to that Confluence's [Data]/config/ directory. Open up the confluence-global.bandana.xml file, and look for an entry with key: com.atlassian.confluence.extra.markforreview
re: comments in a single page, or through the web service API. I'm not sure. Probably, but that's outside of the scope of this plugin.

Is it possible to make some customization possible? Because I would really like to translate the texts to Dutch and change some of the feedback options.

Laura Kolker says:

re: translation - I'm not personally equipped to translate text into Dutch (really, any language
). However, the source is available at https://svn.atlassian.com/svn/public/contrib/confluence/markforreview
Many (all? should check) of the visible texts are defined in properties files. At this point in the source there should only be one: ViewReviewAction.properties, although at least one more will be added to the source immenently.
re: other feedback options - what did you have in mind?
I'm glad to hear you're happy with it. Thanks for the feedback.

The form mail plugin from adaptavist doesn't give me enough possibility's to change the interface or fields. I have looked at the source code in SVN and seen that almost no texts are defined in the property file but in code. I am eager awaiting you next release. (The more you standardize, the less i need to customize
)
Tab: from 'review' to 'feedback' (or something like it)
Review types: 'question','tip','other' (or something alike, just thinking aloud here)
And in Dutch of course
. I am not 100% sure how to 'give back' my translation, (same like building language pack for Confluence itself?) but in case you like to have a Dutch translation of your plugin that is a possibility.

I just released the Customization release (1.1-RC2).
re: "seen that almost no texts are defined in the property file but in code."
I tried to put as many as I noticed in, but I'll admit I haven't made a thorough check.
Here's a JIRA issue for that:
http://developer.atlassian.com/jira/browse/CMFR-3
re: "Tab: from 'review' to 'feedback'
This is not as easy as it sounds. I'm told there are ways to provide references to resource files from the web-item tag, but I have yet to get any of them to work.
I've added a JIRA issue for that.
http://developer.atlassian.com/jira/browse/CMFR-2
Feel free to add more JIRA issues to that project as you notice bugs, or think of improvements.
I really appreciate your feedback.

Can you give me some background about what led up to it?
I'm assuming you attempted to add confluence-users as a moderater group.
What was the string you gave to the text field?
What groups are defined in your confluence?
You can reply here, or open up a JIRA issue:
