Hi,
I am currently working on the improving discussion thread in Allura. could

show/hide "meta" comments is_meta)
and

Ok, what do you need to know about them? Does the ticket itself make sense?
For email, https://forge-allura.apache.org/docs/platform/email.html has some
high-level information about the process. And in general the duplicate queries
will probably involve working with the post & thread "widgets" similar to what I
mentioned previously.
I don't want to dive into too many details if the coding for them is a ways off.
I do encourage you to explore the code yourself, and ask questions if you get
stuck. Also working on some small coding tasks early can help you get familiar
with the codebase.

Hi Dave,
These information were really helpful.
I am going to address these issues as well.
#1782 When parsing an email to an artifact, ignore reply-content
https://forge-allura.apache.org/p/allura/tickets/1782/
#4359 Reduce duplicate queries in threaded discussion display
https://forge-allura.apache.org/p/allura/tickets/4359/
could you please provide further information about where can I start to
work on these issues.
Thank you.

When someone edits a ticket (or merge request) and the status, description, or
other fields change, then Allura automatically makes a comment. This is the
"meta" comment, different from a person writing a regular comment on the ticket.
Those are already shown a little bit differently - smaller font and no gray bar.
The idea in 7883 would be to have some filters/buttons to show only regular
comments, show only changes (meta), or show both like normal.

The basic idea is that if you have a lot of comments on a thread and some of
them have attachments, it can take some effort to look through them to find all
the attachments. It could be useful to have a list of all the attachments
together somewhere. Or maybe like the "meta" stuff, have a filter to show only
comments with attachments. There are different options here, so you would want
to explore them and see what the best UI is
