ToDo

[nevrome]

Functionality issues

• Breadcrumb menu doesn't reach CRUD pages (Issue)
• Autocomplete for references filter does not work. Most likely because references is a reserved name in Postgres (Question)
• Forms broke again because of user_id
• Missing env variable documentation in README
• Highchart export is broken for the sum calibration
• Lasso selection is also very slow because it works with a POST request on data/index. This POST causes the Datatables data preparation in app/datatables/selected_measurement_datatable.rb to run, which runs again with the subsequent GET request. Instance variable caching.
• The calibration plots need some love: I just copied them and removed everything that did not work on the spot
• Only registered users can currently access the calibration plots
• DataTable sorting does not work
• Lasso selection is very slow and breaks with too many entries: Cookie overflow
• The nested form branch arch_objects -> site_phases -> sites does still not work and I don't know why
• species model: missing distinction of plural form causes issues
• Master input form for arch_object model: some nested input does not work
• Master input form for arch_object model: should be more responsive
• Only objects with complete information are currently found by the master query. Unfortunately problem is caused by the join, not by the where statement

Database

• Fell phases context: Besides C14 dates also fell phases are a very important data category for the project. They deserve an own sophisticated view.
• References have to be linked to Fell phases
• Captcha for user registration
• Restrict user registration with some sort of barrier
• More database imports + related problems
• Respective source database (context data import) not documented yet. source database should be a model with: name, url, citation, licence. Citation link in main table.
• Responsible user not documented yet at object creation
• Datatable paging not working correctly
• New solution for the distinction of dendro_* and c14_measurements: actable system is too complicated down the line. Everything in one table? has_one or belongs_to relation to models dendro and c14?
• references are not implemented yet
• species are too complicated and at the same time not flexible enough. One text field for everything is enough
• periods and typo..._units and eco..._units not implemented yet
• fell_phases not implemented yet
• site_phases model is missing
• Data import

Page content

• About section
• API section
• Database documentation

Missing features

Very important

• Filter dialogue is incomplete
• RESTful API and documentation
• CSV Export
• Manual data selection in main table
• Sum calibration for multiple measurements
• Download is not complete: Does not give back every column
• Map should keep zoom level
• Better map markers
• Better map marker popups
• Interactive input and editing form
• Extended main windows set back at reload

Important

• More sophisticated input validations
• Nice show actions. The relevant sites should always be shown on the map.
• Meaningful Unit tests
• Calibration Cronjob or calibration at input
• Discussion: Storing calibrated date + std? Algorithm? Current solution is... simple.
• Elaborated user permission system

Deployment

• Correct configuration of production environment
• Change to postgres in development environment to avoid incompatibilities
• Finetuning of deployment workflow
• Decide on deployment system (docker vs. rails without vm)
• Prepare host system

Publication

• Name? Xronos?
• Add logo (also as fav icon)
• Publication of v.1.0 in the Journal of Open Source Software
