project template for e-mails? #4

Open danhammer opened 11 years ago

danhammer commented 11 years ago

It may be helpful to structure the "what's going on today?" ask. Project-based or team-based categories. This seemed to help me this morning, following @andrewxhill's lead. It may also mitigate the problem of hanging branches or issues, things that are just sort of pushed aside. A gentle reminder to either deal with the branch or prune it.

It could just start as a list of open projects at the end of the e-mail.

Just a thought. BTW FWIW FTW, um, where should we put potential enhancements or issues? Here?

andrewxhill commented 11 years ago

yup, sander and I spoke a while about this after the emails this morning. here is a preliminary outline

## project name

### subproject title

- task (ongoing)
+ new task
* broadcast 
? question or seeking input

you can also combine them (especially useful for broadcasting questions). an example might be

## forma

### ee integration

+ testing the extraction of recent deforestation in protected areas
*? i'm going to be running a lot of test cycles, is it time to upgrade our EC2 machine, thoughts?

## wri

* Just got Data Lab funds in the bank!!!
+ finalize contracts

This makes it really nice to have a command line client for submitting reports. Shit, this actually just made me think of another enhancement for the future. Continuous log mode. So through the day

$ grr config mode continuous $ git commit -a -m 'fucking nailed that bug down' $ git push origin master (right to the fucking master mf) $ grr msg add '- just fixed the security hole in CSRF'

I am really into this. My question, now, is how to organize the subtrees. Suppose I want to cross list a project and team. What then? Not in scope? Ignore if this takes you off track.

Yesterday, I had it in 'continuous' mode, it was a monday (which in my conf is a workday) and i never added anything.

Today, an email comes

Andrew,

You have grr in continuous mode but we never saw any updates yesterday. How was the beach? 

If you actually did some things yesterday, just respond to this email with some highlights.

Cheers,

We were talking a bit about a very flexible summary interface. where you could answer questions like

What were all the new tasks today in the project WRI? What were all the broadcasts today? What were all the mentioned tasks today in team Alpha? What were all the tasks today that referenced 'python'

@sanderpick just joined the team @danhammer announced "We just got Data Lab money"

@dan, def gonna roll in projects .. so you can get project updates / news, or team updates / news .. or the combo

andrewxhill commented 11 years ago

So it does some nice organization for you just based on the projects you watch. Oh, and if you have team members that aren't part of projects or somethign, it could be more like

WRI

@sanderpick just joined the team @danhammer announced "We just got Data Lab money"

MOL

@sanderpick announced that the first mobile beta is available for testing

Other

@robinkraft is pondering mortality @sanderpick [QUESTION] does anybody have an extra site licence for xyz

andrewxhill commented 11 years ago

Then you could imagine how it changes if you ask,

Show me all questions by user?

@sanderpick

Does anybody have an extra site...

@robinkraft

FORMA

Do we need to upgrade our EC2...

andrewxhill commented 11 years ago

you could use the search interface to define how your daily summary was organized too! maybe i really want an email of all daily broadcasts but only want to skim tasks by going to the site directly

dude this is so simple. it's like git for getting shit done.

andrewxhill commented 11 years ago

i was saying too, the the two uses i think we try to solve beautiful are

  1. i'm part of one or multiple teams and I want to know what is going on even though i'm rarely in the same room with them (this is my use case exactly). especially helpful if i need to know how to tell non-team members what is changing in the near future or know when i might need to jump into a project
  2. someone like javier or a project manager has a large team and they want to know basically where people are applying hours each day.
andrewxhill commented 11 years ago

I think either cli or email mode should be available

sanderpick commented 11 years ago

for the daily morning email replies ... right now you get one from each person on each of your teams.. i wonder if it makes sense to consolidate all that into one email ... so everyone has like 1hour to reply to those emails ... dunno

andrewxhill commented 11 years ago

well, what if i set what time i got the emails? then i just got an email of all updates that had happened since my last email?

andrewxhill commented 11 years ago

that is nice and flexible because maybe i only want an email on wednesday and friday (we can dev this far in the future), but it would still work

andrewxhill commented 11 years ago

also, if i ran grr in continuous mode, it would let me add updates all day long, and until your email went out they would still make it into your daily summary

sanderpick commented 11 years ago

nice dude, that is perf

andrewxhill commented 11 years ago

just reminded me of https://bufferapp.com/ totally diff project, but they have a nice scheduler. you pick a time of day and days of the week. if you upgrade to the paid plan you can pick multiple schedules based on different things! business modellllllss

sanderpick commented 11 years ago

we have a clear problem statement, and a solid hypothesis on how to solve. how nice is that?!

danhammer commented 11 years ago

If there is some structure -- albeit loose structure -- then we can start testing algorithms to suggest "hot streaks" a la NBA Jam or Doldrums a la the Phantom Tollbooth. A quick Poisson modeling, detecting clear outliers in the Bayesian priors on the waiting parameter. This shouldn't be the focus, at all, but may offer a neat feature.

sanderpick commented 11 years ago

@danhammer digging the thoughts here, but I don't fully understand. Are you saying that a distribution like that could be used to predict what a team might be working on in the future? Show stats about the most active keywords for a given project / team?

danhammer commented 11 years ago

We can identify hot streaks or cold streaks on a particular project. Sort of like in NBA Jam. It may encourage others to jump on a hot streak.

The idea, I guess, would be to figure out if people on a particular project are more or less active than usual -- taking into account some random variation in reporting. Just a thought. There are all sorts of other analytics that could be done, maybe, to help encourage us to get shit done.

sanderpick commented 11 years ago

Would be amazing to see global keyword hot streaks
