New-issue page should provide hints to view existing issue to prevent duplication #36

Open mvl22 opened 11 years ago

mvl22 commented 11 years ago

Users who are not so active (and therefore less aware of existing discussions) may add issues that already exist.

For this reason, at the point of adding an issue title, Cyclescape could have a semantic name matching. Likewise, the map view should have a button that says 'Show existing issues' that adds the existing issues nearby.

We should basically replicate Github's implementation: https://github.com/cyclestreets/cyclescape/issues/new

Type something, e.g. mail, and you get a drop-down, prefixed with "The following issues might be related."

I presume this is done as an AJAX call to a search engine, which obviously we have already.
