PMC Chair Tools

[Gav <gm...@apache.org>]

Hi,

Where are the PMC Chair tools located on Whimsy?

I cant find them anywhere.

Trying to determine what might be missing that are currently being used
on Minotaur.

Thanks

Gav...

I don't see the purpose of cluttering the UI with features you can't use.

If you go to your page in the roster tool, you can edit a few fields.
Over time, you will be able to edit more.

If you are a member, you can see information from members.txt,
non-members can not.

Similarly, in the board agenda tool, non-secretary's don't see minute
taking options by default, non-directors don't see approve and flag,
etc.

I can see the value of showing the options for people with root
authority.  Let me know if that is of interest, it probably is only a
few line change.

Brings up an excellent point: perhaps a better UX would be to have such
editing tools present, but greyed out, with a ? or when clicked noting
that you're not authorized.  That way at least people will know the
features are there, even if they can't use them on other PMCs or when
they're not a chair, etc.

Just an idea.

What tools are you referring to?

If you mean updating committee-info.txt and the LDAP groups, that is
done from the roster page, e.g.

https://whimsy.apache.org/roster/committee/jmeter

Since I am the chair, I can double-click on a row to edit it, or
double-click the + sign to add a new entry.

AFAICT, you are not listed as a chair of a PMC so you won't see the facility.
