Results for applications

[teleyinex]

Right now all the data are stored in the DB, and in order to get it, you have to use the API. However, there are some issues about how the data should be presented, and accessed.

Web Interface

• Each application should have a button to export all the results as CSV (which other format?)
• Each application should show some statistics about how many tasks have been completed. Taking into account that only the owners can update the tasks, who is going to change the status of the task?
• Every task has a new field named: task_presenter to show to the users the tasks. It could be also interesting to have something similar but for the results, adding a new field like task_results that will have the HTML+JS to show a summary of the results, some figures, etc. Is this reasonable?

API

• Should PyBossa support calls like this?
  • GET all Tasks for a given APP: http://domain.com/api/task?app_id=1
  • GET all TaskRuns for a given APP [and TASK]: http://domain.com/api/taskruns?app_id=1[&task_id=1] <- [optional]

@rgrp @fgrey @nigini please, let me know what do you think!

• Export: In the first instance couldn't we just have export functionality done as a simple client script of the API (separate from PyBosssa or in contrib)?
• Task update is part of a more complex workflow that we need to think about ... (suggest separate ticket). In essence, on each taskrun we want to go and do some computation and update (that may be app specific)
• Interesting idea. Starts to suggest that presenters are individual items in their own right which get associated to tasks (current proposal was to have one presenter per app with all tasks for that app being the same ...). In pursuit of simplest thing possible I think we should park this and keep with presenter per app. If you want different task types then create a new app ... (if not we really need to think of something to group tasks within an app e.g. "project". that said i think this leads back to workflow since usually you want tasks to move around between projects as they get processed. Summary: time to revisit the user stories IMO)

Re get all tasks: http://domain.../api/task?... should already be a search of all tasks so that should work ...

Suggest we may also want: http://domain.../api/app/id/task?...

Also definitely do not think this is v1.0 ... :-)

Please see issue #111 as a new proposal. Closing this issue as no longer valid :)
