Reps Council: List all "Feedback needed" task in Panel

[MichaelKohler]

For the Reps Council to be more efficient, it would be great to have a WebExt with a panel to view all Reps issues that currently need Council input.

This is the following GitHub query: https://github.com/mozilla/reps/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22Council+Feedback+Needed%22 (mozilla/Reps repo, all open issued tagged with the "Council Feedback Needed" label).

I see two possible ways to solve this. Both case are a panel in the toolbar which opens a visually pleasing overview. Clicking on the title (and/or) number of the issue would open the specific GitHub issue in a new tab.

1) Write a content script for https://waffle.io/mozilla/Reps to only display the "FEEDBACK NEEDED" column in a panel 2) Write a custom HTML/JS implementation with a GitHub API query listing the issues in the panel

In both cases, it should be displayed similar to this in terms of information provided:

The important parts here are:

• Issue number
• Issue title
• Either of those mentioned above link to the github issue to be opened in a new tab
• Labels (doesn't need to be fancy for now, bonus if you can make it fancy in variant 2)

Bonus:

• Picture of the assignees, but as this is not important for the "Council Feedback Needed" status, this is totally bonus.

working on it.

Initial version available at: https://github.com/soapdog/webextension-reps-feedback-needed, be aware that there is a bug in Firefox Nightly 56.0a1 (2017-07-18) (64-bit) on Windows 10 that prevents the add-on CSS from loading, it works as expected on Dev Edition.

Great! Will test tomorrow and maybe you'll get a PR :) Definitely a nice PoC version anyway. Thank you!

The extension is on AMO?

[devcer]

I don't think so. since it is made for Reps council and not end user specific, there was a discussion on telegram and finally decided not to publish it. Do you think andre should publish it?

[Mte90]

Maybe it is possible to do for all the waffle users in any case I think that issue can be closed at this point because the extension exist

[caitmuenster]

The user base for this is probably too specific for listing on AMO, but you should definitely encourage members of the Reps Council to sideload it.

Also, nicely done @soapdog!

@Mte90 AMO reviewer rejected the extension. We can always sign it and release it here on Github if people think this is a good idea.

@caitmuenster thanks a lot for the kind words 😻

[MichaelKohler]

@soapdog please do, as long as we don't need to install it every time we restart the browser, I'm happy

[soapdog]

@MichaelKohler I will, just give me some days to sort it out. I will add the signed version to the releases tab on github.
