-• Make links to puzzle and channel within sheet be actual links
+Recently-proposed ideas (not yet prioritized)
+---------------------------------------------
+• Set-up an announcements Slack channel that's auto fed by email to a
+ particular email address.
-• Make /solved report to the main hunt channel
+• Have Turbot explicitly report long state strings to the channel,
+ (since the implicit report from settting the abbreviated topic won't
+ have the whole message).
-• Make /solved rename the puzzle's sheet to indicate its solved status
+• In messages (like from /solved) don't use a raw user_name value from
+ the request, but instead some tagged version of a user ID (which
+ Slack will render as a display name).
-• Make /solved clear the state string for a puzzle.
+Round management
+----------------
-• Implement an /archive command to allow for easy archiving of a
- channel for a solved puzzle
+• Select round fields by default based on the round of the puzzle for
+ the channel in which `/puzzle` is invoked.
+
+• Consider putting a round prefix into the channel name to group a
+ round's puzzles in the channel list.
-• Implement code to close out an entire hunt after the face
+Meta-puzzle support
+-------------------
-• Implement a /hunt command for giving an overview of the entire hunt,
- (like the Turbot "home" view but available in any channel)
+• Figure out a good mechanism for linking puzzles to a meta-puzzle
+ that they feed into. Is this different or the same as the round
+ mechanism described above?
-• For "/hunt" display only unsolved puzzles by default, but also allow
- for "/hunt all" to display all puzzles
+Hunt overview commands and filters
+----------------------------------
• On the Turbot home screen allow a dropdown for Unsolved/Solved/All
puzzles
string that will search through puzzle names, puzzle IDs, puzzle
URLs, and state strings.
-• Figure out a good mechanism for linking puzzles to a meta-puzzle
- that they feed into.
+• Figure out what we want for tagging and searching on tags (beyond
+ what's already possible with the state strings).
+
+Editing puzzle fields
+---------------------
• Implement a command to display the status of the current puzzle
within the channel. Need a name for this command.
• Extend the in-channel puzzle display to also allow editing of all
puzzle fields
-• Fix /puzzle dialog to reject a puzzle with the same URL as an
- existing puzzle.
-
-• Allow a per-user option to opt out of being auto-invited to all
- newly-created puzzle channels.
-
-• Figure out what we want for tagging and searching on tags (beyond
- what's already possible with the state strings).
+• Implement an /archive command to allow for easy archiving of a
+ channel for a solved puzzle (but make sure archived puzzles still
+ show up in global hunt/round views).
-• Decide a good plan for audio/video calls for puzzles and integrate
- that into Turbot.
+• Ensure that both spreadsheet and channel are updated in response to
+ any changes.
-• Inspect the CloudWatch logs for our Turbot AW Lambda during the time
- period of the active hunt, (October 24-31), find and diagnose any
- errors that occurred during that period. Users reported seeing
- "Trouble connecting" (probably during new-puzzle dialog submission)
- as well as "dispatch_failed during /state command (perhaps due to a
- state string that was very long).
+File uploads
+------------
• Incorporate puzzle file uploads into the database state for each
puzzle. Any file uploaded to the Slack should get included
initially, but when editing a puzzle users can drop irrelevant files
or label relevant files.
-• Figure out what tool we want to use for shared drawing on a puzzle
- and integrate that into Turbot, (give a command that will generate a
- new URL and will insert that URL into the Slack topic and the list
- of links at the top of the sheet).
+Opt-out of channel invitations
+------------------------------
+
+• Consider adding a user option to allow a user to opt-in to auto
+ invitation for all newly-created puzzle channels
+
+Sheet-related fixes
+-------------------
+
+• Have linked spreadsheets go into a specific Google Drive folder
• Come up with a better sheet template
+• Put the puzzle's name into the primary tab of the sheet
+
• When copying tabs from the spreadsheet template, don't leave the
default "Copy of " text in place.
has created during the hunt. (Perhaps color the reference tabs
differently.)
+Un-prioritized items
+--------------------
+
+• Add support for recording/displaying those who have current roles
+
+• Think about some way to express solve priority
+
+Lower priority
+--------------
+
+• Implement code to close out an entire hunt after the fact
+
+• Figure out what tool we want to use for shared drawing on a puzzle
+ and integrate that into Turbot, (give a command that will generate a
+ new URL and will insert that URL into the Slack topic and the list
+ of links at the top of the sheet).
+
+• Think about using a URL shortener API for the sheet URLs (to leave
+ more room in a channel topic for state string content)
