This repository is for the users of the USDOE Weatherization Assistant on the Web (WAweb). It complements the ORNL-provided Help Desk providing a public forum for known issues, workarounds, best practices, and useful files.
The WAweb (version 10.5.x as of January 2024) is a new single-page application (SPA) hosted by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for the USDOE Low Income Weatherization Assistance Program. WAweb is intended to replace the older desktop version 8.x (and prior) which has been in use for decades.
This repository is a place for users to share problems, solutions, ideas for new features and reports. The issue tracker in GitHub is a good solution for this task since it is public, searchable, and editable. It can also store images as part of the issue. This lets us share screenshots that demonstrate problems and solutions. A picture is worth many words.
The main thing here is the Issue tracker which is the second tab in the main repository page right after 'Code'. The code page is where shared files are stored and accessed. On the Issues page, you should be able to see open and closed issues, labels on issues, and a search bar.
Feel free to press the New issue button and fully describe your problem or idea. Screenshots are very helpful as well. Just take a screenshot that illustrates the problem or idea, then simply drag your screenshot file into the issue comment area for everyone to see.
Any users of WAweb are welcome to contribute.
The initial set of issues and ideas for this repository was contributed by WAweb users in the state of Minnesota, but the idea is to involve all users. You can create issues and reply to other users in a shared environment.
Let's keep the focus on WAweb usage in this repository. Other DOE Weatherization program issues and discussions have their own forums.
