Components should be sorted by last modified by default, but with option to sort by either this or name.

Steps:

1. Upload a file
2. Select checkbox beside red Delete button and click Delete

Expected:
-File is deleted

Actual
-File is not deleted (also I think a checkbox needs to appear besides each individual file, so that specific files can be deleted)

Column 1 = Project Name (contributor 1, contributor 2, et al.), Column 2 = Last user who modified (date, time)

Now

projects are sorted by when they were made

Better

user should have option to sort by project name and last modified, with default sorting by last modified

Within the Open Source software development world, there is an axiom known as Linus' Law:

Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.

The idea is that the more people who work on given code, the higher quality it will become over time - because each developer brings a different perspective and skillset, and bugs that are overlooked by one may be obvious to another.

The same concept applies for Open Science. Publishing projects on the Framework is a great first step, but we're not leveraging it to its full potential unless we provide an easy way for users to see what's out there. In other words, we need to attract eyeballs to our public projects.

Our first step here will be a revamp of the Explore page. Information to include on this page will include:

• Popular public projects (by hits)
• New public projects (by creation date)
• Popular public registrations (by hits)
• New public registrations (by creation date)

Input on what you'd like to see would be greatly appreciated.

Trying to create an account with an email address already in the system should show an error message ("account already exists") but instead redirects to the account creation / login page silently.

STEPS:

1. Login to an account
2. Navigate to a project page
3. Click "settings" tab
4. Select delete project

EXPECTED:

1. Confirmation dialog informing user of seriousness of the action
2. Confirm/cancel choice

ACTUAL:

1. Deletes the project

If a file is larger than X mb, return "This file is too large to be rendered".

When downloading files from the individual file pages, downloaded files are named according to their version ("1", "2", etc.) and have no extension.

Steps

• Browse to project page
• Click on Files
• Click on an uploaded file
• Click on the download icon

Expected

• Downloads a file with the same name and extension as displayed on the file page

Actual

• Downloads a file named by version, with no extension

Once a user account is created, there is no apparent way to delete the account. A "delete" and/or a "deactivate" option should be made available on a logged-in user's profile page.

Browsing to a file that doesn't exist currently throws a 500 error. This should probably throw a 404, or point to a "file not found" page.

Steps

• Login
• Browse to project
• Browse to /project//files/this_file_doesnt_exist

Expected

• 404 or more helpful error page

Actual

• 500

Steps to Reproduce

1. Upload a text file to a project
2. Without modifying said file, upload it again, to the same project.
3. Visit the file's page

Result

Two versions of the file are available.

Result

Since the file is unchanged, a new version should not be created, and only one version should be present in the history.

Steps:

• Log out.
• On a project page, attempt to change the name.

Expected:

• Nicely formatted error message

Actual:

• RED SCREEN OF DEATH

Now

No way to differentiate leads on a project

Better

Allow users to designate contributors as leads, perhaps with some kind of visual cue like an asterisk

quoting Brian's Trello directions.

Now

Nesting of projects is not possible

Better

Projects should be able to move within a hierarchy vertically and laterally, and to be removed from that hierarchy as well.

Steps to Reproduce:

Go to a project's main page

Now:

order of contributors listed cannot be changed

Better:

order can be changed

This issue was manually moved from OpenScienceFramework/openscienceframework.org#9

@octern said:

Currently if a node is public but the project isn't public, guests can visit the nodes via a direct link but can't view the project. I think that people who are using this to make some of their project's materials public would probably want visitors to be able to see a list of available nodes, similar to what a project contributor sees when the log in to a project. This is especially important if we want to suggest OSF as both a way to plan / create studies and to publicly share materials and data. People may not want all of their planning conversations and specific documents to become public.

Currently, users may upload, download or delete individual files. To rename a file, a user currently can:

1. Download the file
2. Rename the file locally
3. Upload the file with the new name
4. Delete the old version on the Framework

While this will work, it's a lot of work for what should be a simple operation. It also does not retain the version history of the file.

Ideally, a user should be able to rename a file through the web interface, thereby eliminating the complex process described above and maintaining the change history of the file for future reference.

Trying to fork a registration generates a 502 error.

Steps

• Browse to a registration page
• Click the Fork icon

Expected

• A non-registered fork of the project is created

Actual

• 502 Bad Gateway

This is a manual import of OpenScienceFramework/openscienceframework.org#3

Steps to Reproduce

1. Visit your project in OSF and observe list of nodes

Current State

Each node exists in a box with one button that allows you to see recent activity. You have to access the nodes individually to see whether they are public or private.

Expected

"Maybe you can add a subtle indicator - e.g. an icon in the node - that communicates [whether the node is public or private]."

If you are not a contributor to a public project, you can still go to the project page and the add file link is still visible. However, if you follow that link and upload a file, an error message is produced:

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character

I would expect that the link to add a file would not even show up.

We need to remove usernames, passwords, API keys and the like from configuration before release.

I'm a fan of 12 Factor - and while we won't be using a PaaS or managing our infrastructure in quite the same way as @adamwiggins, storing configuration in the environment makes a lot of sense for our use case.

Input elements for username and password have the same IDs in the account creation and login sections of /account. This doesn't break anything but could make testing confusing.

Manual import of OpenScienceFramework/openscienceframework.org#5

Double-clicking a component header gives a pop-up to edit the title. Non-admin users for a project can attempt to use this, but it fails and the error message isn't handled gracefully.

STEPS:

1. Go to OSF page and login
2. Access public profile
3. Click "my public profile"
4. Click location field

ACTUAL:

1. A form pops up allowing users to edit their location
   -- similar to clicking on the username

EXPECTED:

1. Nothing happens

This is a manual import of OpenScienceFramework/openscienceframework.org#4

This issue has been manually brought over from openscienceframework/openscienceframework.org#1

The "fork" icon on projects is the Bootstrap default for "shuffle" - it should be customized or replaced to accurately represent the action.

Now

Possible to click on title to reach parent project

Better

From Brian's card: "immediately below 'date created' line could be 'Parent project: XXXX' and the XXXX says the name and is linkable back"

Manually brought over from OpenScienceFramework/openscienceframework.org#2

Steps to reproduce

Unclear how this happened, but I've included a screenshot of what my project page looks like now. I may have created and then deleted the component "study materials."

Result

a folder representing the component exists in the file hierarchy even if that component does not exist

Expected result

a one-to-one correspondence between components listed in components list and components under file list and folder hierarchy therein

** This current setup is clean but not intuitive.

STEPS:

1. go to openscienceframework.org
2. login to an account
3. click either name or location to edit

ISSUE:

1. Name and location fields should differentiate themselves from uneditable
   fields in some way.

Registered projects can't be renamed, which is good. But attempting to rename a registered project injects escaped HTML into the rename dialogue box. A clearer error message might be good, or the rename function could be disabled for registrations.

Steps

• Browse to a project
• Click on Registrations
• Click on a registration (or create one)
• Click on the title of the project
• Enter a different title and click the check mark icon

Expected

• Error message ("You can't rename a registered project")

Actual

• Escaped HTML is added to the dialog

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new project
2. Add an image file (e.g., my_image.jpg)
3. Click the image's filename to view the file's page
4. Go back to the file list
5. Refresh the page

Result

The file download counter shows "1".

Expected Result

The file download counter should show "0".

At the moment, it's possible to create identical projects under the same user account. Maybe this shouldn't be possible, or should at least bring up an alert box.

Submitted via email:

It would be great to given an option to propagate permission down
from the top level to sub-levels of a project. I understand why that
doesn't happen by default, but it's a major pain to have to add the
same people over and over again for every node.

Steps to Reproduce

Go to project dashboard
Click on +

Result

Last modifications and their times are shown.

Expected Result

Show files stored in that component

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to project page
2. Add new node
3. View contributors

Now

Contributors need to be manually added

Better

An option for node to inherit all or subset of contributor list from parent

We have recieved several suggestion asking that project pages be more customizable. These include:

• Allow specific ordering of contributors
• Allow specific ordering of child projects

Steps to Reproduce

1. Attempt to visit a page that does not exist: /not-a-real-page/.

Current State

A default, ugly error page is displayed.

Expected

A beautiful, informative page should be displayed.

Now

When a new component is made, contributors have to be added manually

Better

Provide suggested contributors based on other projects. Also see #37.

If there is an apostrophe in the title of the project, the javascript used to enable editing the title breaks with this error message: SyntaxError: missing } after property list. It also disables being able to fork the project.

Users should be able to have an apostrophe in the project title, or at least get a warning message about apostrophes.
