Resolve's Vote's Revisions is poorly named #20

Closed SwartzCr closed 11 years ago

SwartzCr commented 11 years ago

Since votes are typically completely re-written for each iteration of the proposals, a more generic name like 'history' would be more appropriate. In addition there's no way to see the proposal that that vote acted on (in the revisions pane) which makes looking at this history near useless.

yourcelf commented 11 years ago

Hmm. Makes sense; the intention of it was a quick view of the evolution of the opinion of a single person, rather than that of the whole proposal which you get with "proposal history". It does duplicate the information contained in the popovers in "proposal history".

I don't want to rename it history, as that would clash/confuse with "proposal history". I'd lean towards just removing it.

I see, it does provide, if not different functionality, at least a different view on the same information. There's probably still a way to view them side-by-side, whether or not it's easy/worth implementing resolve revision mockup for example you could have something like this that shows all of the vote revisions as they're shown now, but also along side show the proposal, either as a static pane that refreshes dynamically or as mouseover pop-ups

Given the duplication, I think removing it for now is best. If there's a compelling need to have an opinion-centric history we can revisit it with more intentional design; but for now I think it's just noise/confusion to have both. Fixed in 1ad77809a0d799450044c864bbfc988333f500f4.
