GUI Idea Factory

MPDL

The GUI Idea Factory...
...is the place where you can post ideas for user interface design and layout. These can be everything from loose ideas, interesting stuff you saw on other pages or concrete interface drafts.


 * Search
 * How about vista style side preview for buttons on mouseover
 * E.g.: Button for choosing an affiliation could have a iamge of the aff tree as mouseover, therefor the user sees that this button links to the organization page which he probably saw before. Additionally it will be clear that this button links outside the current page.
 * Can we, should we, would it be a good idea to bring tag clouds somewhere?

To be precised: Tag clouds generated from fulltesxt/abstract could be used as entrypoint for search in other tag clouds of other items (first 10 most frequent terms)
 * Where could it give additional info, more value


 * Browse & Display
 * Add citation style to list view types. This would bring a really condensed view with lots of items available without scrolling.


 * Item View


 * How about using reiter for the item view
 * The first reiter is the full view of the items content, the other reiter would be Item | LogView | Item Statistics | Files | View RevisionsView | Release History
 * I think this would be a nice and intuitive navigation. The cover sheet is the item itself and the user could browse through all the additional informations for that item.

Rupert: Already realized - see current FPT. What to do with realized ideas? I would like to keep them, just to see what has been realized over time. Proposal: Move them to a separate page "Realized Ideas"--Rupert 13:10, 28 October 2008 (UTC)


 * View Item Version/Group Creators/Affiliations
 * display affiliations with a quick link: Search Result all from this affiliation
 * same procedure for authors: Search result all of this author
 * check for additional search query quick links




 * Cloud Abstract: On click a tag cloud is generated from the abstract within the 'View Item Version' page


 * And on click on one keyword in the cloud a keyword search is triggered. I really like the idea if abstract cloud! --Kleinfercher 10:22, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * it would even make sense to generate a proposal for keywors/subjects out of this cloud for the subject/free keywords field. --Rupert 13:17, 21 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Next Workflow step

The user is able to trigger the next workflow step from the status icon in "View Item Version"


 * Add altenative view-item type (publication view). This would format the item in a way like a real publication looks (see PLoS ONE FEDORA).


 * Item Release History / Item Log


 * consider graphical timeline as possible display


 * Design
 * Show additional information like firefox add-ons side does (click on the image)
 * This could be nice for PubMan collection explanation. Right now the collection description pops up in a seperate window
 * Very nice information visualization with maps in selectboxes (http://jsmap.cognitom.com/en.html)
 * No idea if or how we could use this, but perhaps we can need such things someday.


 * Submission
 * Idea is to make validation easier by placing the missing fields near each Error Message. The long form below does not need to be searched. --Rupert 13:07, 28 October 2008 (UTC)


 * add hint texts to inputs where necessary
