RE: [mylar-dev] repositories for web-linked tasks

["Mik Kersten" <beatmik@xxxxxxx>]

I don't think it's that bad for the user to have to create a new repository,
as long as they only have to do this once per repository.  I'm not sure I
follow your second point, could you elaborate?

The main thing that I think is currently painful is that the user has to
enter the identifiers for their project 5 or more times before they're done
with their first query, which is error prone.  I wonder if you could make
"project identifier" a setting on the repository settings page.  E.g. for
"Subclipse (IssueZilla)" it would be "subclipse.tigris.org" and for "Azureus
(SourceForge) it would be "atid=575154&group_id=84122".  Once entered on the
repository settings page you simply refresh all of the fields that depend on
it.  Then, when the user specifies that they want to create a query for that
repository you use this to automatically populate the URL and Regexp,
removing the step of them having to re-select the template (confusing, since
it makes no sense to select an 'incompatible' template).
