Title: Reminder: Conference Call: Wednesday, July 9th, 17:00 UTC or 10:00 PDT. Call 613.287.8000 or 866.362.7064 passcode 892048#
Hello,
 
Here are my notes from the yesterday's call.
 
Bogdan Vatkov made a quick walk-through on the pain points in the current Search UI in Eclipse. The main point is that defining search criteria and looking at search results are tightly connected tasks. Therefore, it is quite natural to have them in one and the same view. See the attached slides for details.
 
Kevin McGuire presented a concept that is very close to Bogdan's proposal. He mentioned that there are dev resources needed to realize this experimental search form - may be the interested parties in the community can help? The Platform team is open on making changes.
 
There were people on the call that were in favor with the proposed new search concept and others that like the existing one. Therefore, the following was concluded:
  - There should be simple and advanced search modes in one and the same view. User make the choice for the mode.
  - Eclipse could provide Search UI for both old and new concepts and not sacrificing any of them.
 
Action items:
  - Start with a Bugzilla bug to collect our initial resources from this walk-through - documents, notes, etc. (Bogdan and Kaloyan)
  - Bogdan Vatkov will send the presentation slides. (done with this mail)
  - Kevin will send a document describing his new experimental search form.
  - Follow-up call in few weeks - there will be more people coming back from vacation. Until then discussions continue in the mailing list and Bugzilla.
 
Greetings,
Kaloyan
