We can set up a repo that's easy to clone & configure once you set up your form and know the spreadsheet URL maybe? However, we rely on sheetsu, so that's a bad dependency to have - should look into using the native Google api like @davidascher has.

The one on the right is making all of the ones on that row taller, so we need to adjust the layout to accommodate that a little better (make it so the club / country info goes to teh bottom)

@amirad and @Carotejada you can get notified by email when someone submits a new event report. You can do it in the spreadsheet in the Tools dropdown under Notification Rules

I just enabled mine and approved a report that was submitted a few days ago. I think it's important that we're prompt to approve stuff so that people feel encouraged and rewarded for adding them.

Cheers!

And use the form submission timestamp in case it's blank, but we can make it a required field, so I think we're ok!

Fill out some super long event reports. with real info. cc @amirad @flukeout

I'm concerned about the height/layout.

Right now, this happens...

Right now if you load a report direclty via URL like http://mozilla.github.io/clubs-events/?event=9999999 and that report doesn't exist, the popup still opens but has missing / junk data...

Need to handle this better.

Images are a powerful way to convey the feel of an event - how can we incorporate them?

One idea is to ask for a URL to an image that we can somehow use as the "cover" of a report. This will require some design work and we also need to accomodate reports without an image. We don't want things to look junky because only a few people have provided an image.

Just realized that there is no way to contact someone if want to follow-up about their event or if there is an issue with their submission. What do you think about asking for a twitter handle (this being optional) for others to see and asking for an email address (which is required) and we only see it?
@flukeout @xmatthewx

Right now you can flip through all of the events one by one, even if they aren't shown on the results list. We need to limit them somehow.. maybe we could store in the data set which is 'visible'.

According to @amirad, there are Regional Coordinators in the following countries:

• Bangaldesh
• Brasil
• Cape Town
• Canada
• China
• India
• Indonesia
• Kenya
• Philipines
• Spain
• UK
• USA

We can put these, alphabetized, at the top of the Country list to make the form easier to use.

So right now we leave the blank elements (Club Location & Web Literacies) in there like this...

Let's hide those sections or put in some other content there like "not specified" etc...

Right now you have to use the keyboard to clear a search, we could add a little "X" in the input field to clear it out...

cross things off as you go....

Form

• Should we validate the links that are provided blog posts, photo albums etc
• Should we ask what number of meeting this was for the club?
• Decide which fields are required in the form

Reports

• Which fields should we include in the publicly visible reports? All?
  • We might want to omit the Your Feedback question

We can use Timestamp as a fallback, although since we're going to require Date of Event, I don't think we'll need to ever.

I'm trying to count strings as a number, so two things...

• Validate for numbers in the form?
• Or check that it's a number before adding to the participant count.

It seems that some of the data is going to be displayed publicly in the gallery, while other pieces are for staff eyes only. As a user, I'd want to understand who the audience is going to be for the data I'm entering.

Suggestion:

Example: "North University Library" or "a friend's home"

When I click on an event card, I want to be able to fetch that 'record' again from the spreadsheet. Need to figure out how to do this.

If, for example, a row is deleted from the spreadsheet - what will happen if you try to browse from the event right before it to the next one in the popup?

right now its just text

Right now, when there is a very event description, it crowds out the rest of the info about the event. We can try a couple things:

• Collapse the event description to a paragraph and add a "see more" link which will expand it.
• Move more of the event info into the right-column

From @soapdog

It would be cool if there was a way to amend the report later. For example, I am yet to write a blog post about this event but I will do it tonight. If there was a way to revisit the report to add links it would be great as future CCs might want the updated information.

Currently, we have a link that edits you edit the form immediately after you've submitted it, but have no way to make changes to your report later on.

If we stick with the current Google-spreadsheet-as-backend system, we could make the spreadsheet publicly editable and add a front-end for making edits. Not sure this is a good idea, as we would be putting our data at risk.

Don't seem to show up. Also, I think URL validation in the form would be helpful. See: http://mozilla.github.io/clubs-events/?event=13

Right now we have a glorious...

Instead of just bulleted links, add a little title to each link

When the Sheetsu API fetches that data, it strips the line breaks from the responses so they all turn into long strings. This makes it really hard to read the reports. The Sheetsu dev is aware and said he'd look into fixing it, but we might have to look into another solution if it takes too long.

For reference:
http://mozilla.github.io/clubs-events/?event=16

It conflicts with trying to select text with the mouse.

Submissions should not be displayed without review. Let's add a field for staff to flag entries (followup, hold, publish). Only display entries marked as publish.

Right now it just cuts off at the top or bottom when the contents scroll, it doesn't look very nice...

Need a better treatment.

With the drop-down, we'll have consistent country names we can count. Not essential, but nice to add a count to the stats.

Very rarely the sheetsu API throttles the amount of requests and the app doesn't do anything. Could put up at least a retry / cannot be reached error. This is also an opportunity to use localstorage data if we have any, but default to trying to get real data.

Could be interesting in general to only fetch new data every minute or so, and use localstorage otherwise? Might be annoying for testing though. To be considered!

We need to audit all of the questions and for each field decide...

• Is this question in the correct place in the form?
• Is this the right question label?
• Is helper text necessary, and if so, is this the right one?
• Should it be a required field?
• Should we validate this field?
  • We can do some basic validation on URLs
  • We can validate the attendance to make sure it's a number
  • We can have a minimum and maximum number of Web Literacies selected
• For the country field, should we place certain countries near the top of the dropdown? You can't search by typing, so might be annoying to have to use the full list.
• Some questions have (Optional) in the question, is that how we want to indicate optional responses?

We can go over this on Wednesday with @amirad

When I submit a report on Firefox and go back to the main page, the tiles for events are gone.

Some people are likely to fill out the form days after the actual event.

If it's possible to do this without requiring google account, let's do this. If not, let's skip. We probably shouldn't require google accounts. cc @amirad @flukeout
