Ordered punch-list (aiming to complete by 2021-01-08)
-----------------------------------------------------
-• Add tags to the puzzle edit interface
-
• Make the /hunt command drop from the database any rounds that have 0
puzzles in them
Recently-proposed ideas (not yet prioritized)
---------------------------------------------
-• Set-up an announcements Slack channel that's auto fed by email to a
- particular email address.
+• Need a more direct way to ask for help and to find who needs
+ help. Something like /state but with announcements in the main
+ channel and maybe a periodic "Here's where people need help" post or
+ something like that.
+
+• Fix all message posting in Slack to avoid limits, (breaking big
+ messages (is it 100 blocks? need to check) into multiple smaller
+ messages).
• Have Turbot explicitly report long state strings to the channel,
(since the implicit report from settting the abbreviated topic won't
• Allow a hunt (and perhaps a round) to have multiple URLs
-• Provide an "Archive channel" button in the channel when outputting
- the message that results from /solved.
-
• Would it be helpful to have some sort of "tools" command to collect
pointers to useful tools and allow for searching of them?
complaints from Slack even when the command works exactly as it
should).
+• Hunt creation should set the hunt channel's topic (we recently added
+ this for hunt editing at least)
+
+• The Turbot Home view and the /hunt output should emit the hunt links
+ and state string (similar to how puzzle links and state strings are
+ already implemented).

Round management
----------------
Opt-in for channel invitations
------------------------------
-• Consider adding a user option to allow a user to opt-in to auto
- invitation for all newly-created puzzle channels
+• Consider adding a user option to allow a user to opt-out of the auto
+ invitation for all newly-created puzzle channels, (we have a
+ hard-coded list inside Turbot right now called
+ AUTO_INVITE_DENY_LIST)
Sheet-related fixes
-------------------
-• Add the solution to the sheet name on solved: "[TITLE] - Solved [ANSWER]"
-
-• Use a hunt-specific Google Drive folder for creating all the
- sheets. (This way, we can share out the "mh2021" folder to all team
- members so that people can browse the sheets that way if wanted, and
- have backup access to all of them on the off chance of Slack not
- being available.)
-
• Do something to make it more clear which tabs exist just as
backup/reference from the original template vs. any new tab a user
has created during the hunt. (Perhaps color the reference tabs
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
