So as the post-upgrade dust settles, one of the big things still left on our usability TODO list is implementing inline reply and moderation for the site. A quick survey of our developers is that no one here really is super experienced in writing JavaScript code, so I'm putting a call for help to find someone to help implement and write this. For anyone getting interested in SN development, this appears to be a straightforward task. Here's the official requirements for the feature.
  • A user should be able to post and moderate comments without a seperate page load
  • If JavaScript is disabled for whatever reason, the site must degrade to the current click-to-post functionality. We don't want to force people to enable JS if they don't wish to. Dynamically rewriting the DOM to change links may be necessary, but this can be discussed
  • The rehash API must be extended to add this functionality; this should be relatively easy and straight forward; we have parts of the original AJAX code so this functionality may already be in place.
  • Contact me, or paulej72 on IRC, or post a comment below if you're interested in helping.

    That sounds like a bug ... I'll try to reproduce it.

    My first thought, but since it involves a text browser I wasn't sure.

    Thanks :-)
