OpenWetWare talk:Software/Projects/Lab Notebooks

Where to post ideas?

• Steve Koch 22:51, 25 April 2008 (EDT):Is there a place you are currently collecting ideas for lab notebooks? I thought of one:
  
  Is it possible to use javascript or something so that when you put your mouse above a specific day in the calendar, it will show the first 50 characters or so of entry on that day? This way, you can add a title to your lab notebook entries. Another idea would be to show the categories of that page in a list.
  • Ricardo Vidal 01:06, 26 April 2008 (EDT): This is something that we'll be implementing in one of our next iterations of the lab notebook. We are a couple short steps away from deploying our one-click install. Soon after we'll be working on some other features. One that was discussed is this feature that would allow to preview what's "behind" each date with a simple hover of the mouse. Thanks for the input.
  • Jason R. Kelly 13:12, 26 April 2008 (EDT): I think you have to be careful with hover-popups, they can be super-annoying. (like on those sites with underlined words and popup ads when you hover). not saying it couldn't work, but might be tough to do in a non-annoying way.
