Import old RCOS dashboards into Observatory #50

Is this possible?

colinsullivan commented 13 years ago

Probably either by writing a script to read the old database, or copy and pasting :)

Before we do this, we should implement some sort of "inactive" status on a project, so that it shows up on a different part of the UI, and not in the project ranking.

Moorthy has suggested just putting links to the old dashboards, would this be enough?

daviddoria commented 13 years ago

I think the problem is that the old dashboards don't really "work" (most of the blogs etc don't work). I guess I haven't tried in a while, but it might be something that we could slowly transition to the new site - maybe not actually add "projects" to the new dashboard, but on the "old projects" page maybe we could just list them in a table (the same format as the old dashboard, but with verified/corrected links) and it would look "nice" like the new site.

Does that make sense? I'll offer to do some of these if we setup the framework.

An old projects page sounds like a good idea to me. When current projects become 'completed' (although development never actually completes right?) the user of that project could have the ability to set it as complete/inactive and it'll automatically populate the old project page while removing itself from the active list.
