I have to admit, I'm not using it and I think it is not intuitive. It is as colorful as the bug trackers at github.com, but not as useable as them. Here are my suggestions for mumi, some of them already said by others: * First of all, I find this mixture very confusing: Is this about bugs or is this about patches? I really don't know, and the start page is ambigious about it too:=20 "Guix /patch/ tracker This is a web frontend to the Guix /issue/ trackers. /Issues/ of interest Priority /bugs/" I would prefer two trackers:=20 https://issues.guix.gnu.org/ for bugs and httsp://patches.guix.gnu.org/ for patches. * Is it intentionally that there still is a http site? I would have expected a redirect onto https. * http[s]://issues.guix.info/ is also still alive. Shouldn't it redirect to http[s]://issues.guix.gnu.org/? * If you search for something, you get away from the homepage and tips are missing. There should be a "help/tooltip" button near the search input that explains the query language. * If you enter a query, that query should be kept in the input field. Currently, it is discarded. That would make it more easy to update your query. * I would expect the home page to present the newest issues first, and only open ones. * It is not clear to me how long a closed issue is still visible on the home-page. Is it still an "Issue of interest" if it is closed?=20 * Sorting issues by columns would be cool. * Mumi has no paging: It only presents one page of issues, but it doesn't say how many are there in total nor does it page through all other pages of issues. * That means: If I search only for open issues, I get one page ranging from 2013 until 2017, nothing newer: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/search?query=3Dis%3Aopen This is unsatisfying. * In that list, it is not clear what a red/orange colored bug-number means: A tool-tip would be nice. * As others mentioned, linking and explaining the tags (like easy) is missing. * A long desired feature is having general tags. It took me a very long time until I realized that Debbugs allows user-tags. What about using a common email address like "issues AT guix.gnu.org" and add user-tags for that address, like "python", "core-updates", "release-1.1.x", etc. * I still don't see that all bugs and patches from the mailing list are part of the mumi issues list? * The HTML could be responsive. * The query syntax examples are only on the home page. Please repeat them also on the help page. * Either I don't understand the "date:.." semantics or it is broken. The range yesterday..today lists no issues after 2015. Not the "yesterday" I expected...: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/search?query=3Ddate%3Ayesterday..today With numbers, it gets even more strange: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/search?query=3Ddate%3A2020-03-29..2020-03-30 --> Nothing found. Some more, but why are these selected?: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/search?query=3Ddate%3A2020-03-29..2020-03-30 * Mdate does not find anything? https://issues.guix.gnu.org/search?query=3Dmdate%3A2w..12h Despite all the critics, thanks for caring and improving mumi.
