UI Design Issues and Improvements

From what I can tell using JIRA as a reference, it seems like we need to spend some time improving the web UI. Providing convenient access to commonly accessed pages, for instance, will help users make the most of the excellent system underneath.

This page was originally sparked from discussion surrounding: CONTINUUM-37

Longer term I think there can be some significant cool things added for new UI features, but there is some lower hanging fruit that we might be able to get done for Continuum 1.1 that could significantly make life easier for larger projects.

Something along the lines of:

• bulk project changes
  • adding notifications in one shot to all projects (or a subset)
  • set schedules for all projects (or a subset)
• streamlined role management for security model
• project groups as mentioned on the roadmap

Some other ideas:

• Calendar view for build schedule
• New UI features for project grouping
• New UI features for Continuum administration
• New UI features for bulk project configuration

Adding Ajax Support

Ideally, we could add ajax code to the UI to make things like the project configuration forms (thinking SCM configuration in particular) easier to use.
