Search:
Gah - test to see if it queries solr when new message arrives
Search for successful requests now has bogus date order :( Doesn't fit in
with paradigm of request / incoming message being separate objects.
Perhaps we should be indexing events
or maybe index success/failure by type known for message?
Successful requests should have success date as date in search results.
As a result fix up sorting in general
Make /list be search
FOI requests to use to test it
==============================
Please send me all documentation relating to the decision to use results from
the Oxford Economic Forecasting's report "The Economic Contribution of the
Aviation Industry in the UK" in the "Air Transport White Paper Progress Report
2006"
BAILII - relationship with law courts, robots.txt ?
"Fundamental Savings Review" - Tom's friend
Next
====
Search and replace text "FOI" and "Freedom of Information" out the way more
- but put it in the title tag
"public body" --> "public authority"?
Adam's woes:
http://foi.mysociety.org/request/18/response/31
- No doubt leaks email address via download.bin :(
Tom's request to Parliament:
http://foi.mysociety.org/request/8
Consider removing login links from notifications of new responses
Consider password change code in relation to this
Now of course when ids go into requests/users for new ones it just adds an _ on end which is crap!
Later
=====
RDAs need their short names somehow in CSV import?
Send email to remind people to clarify
This search gives a runtime error:
"19 hours
Preview when sending followups - especially people need to see quoting/subject
when sending "my response is late"
Holding pen with comments - new requests don't get sent straight away, but are
delayed while people help improve them.
Change email address - easier to do now with post_redirect.circumstance?
One of the PDFs on live site has:
Error: PDF version 1.6 -- xpdf supports version 1.5 (continuing anyway)
Need to upgrade to poppler-utils?
Add lots more UNIQUE indices
Merge workflow into one stream - find information, if you can't find it then request it.
so just search is on front page, with popular stuff below a la Google Directory
in sidebar of request
Link to WriteToThem - according to level of Government of body
Start a petition about this request
Share this request on Facebook
Tell application developer if working days table not up to date, and needs
updating
Response overdue alerts are only sent first time a request goes into that state :(
Store id in alert of last event which resets the due date
Get deploying of Lucene search working
Consider on staging sites making follow ups go to dummy address also

This can't possible be the best way, it is too depressing:
http://onrails.org/articles/2006/02/18/auto-login
Screen scrape this and add link to it on the public body page
http://www.ico.gov.uk/Home/tools_and_resources/decision_notices.aspx
(10:32:14) richard: you just need to count the number of rows of text and compare it to the number of rows in the textbox
(10:32:29) richard: then increase the height of the textbox by 1em-ish
(10:32:52) Matthew: their function is called autogrow_textarea() by the way, if you just want to look at it...
thanks :) I won't do it now as there are more important things, I was just accidentally impressed
