  • Analyze how to ease status update
  • Minimize steps to update, fan out to other systems: IRC, Twitter, Status page, etc.

Suggestion.

As a user, what is annoying is an error page when we save something after a contribution. Losing last minutes of work.

While most of what a sysadmin do is to reload services without killing them. But some other services doesn’t support reload and we therefore need to restart completely. Not to forget when an underlying system breaks without human intervention, we might want to be notified.

How about we set in place an asynchronous notification system within our pages?

Making this feature might be not be too hard to do:

  • Create notification alert markup and styling
  • Have a small JavaScript listener to a WebSocket server
  • Make a WebSocket postMessage client taking two parameters
  • A message could contains at least the following: Where (e.g. wiki), message, link to the status page post
