#2995: Get rid of all the broken / unwired elements from the web UI.
-------------------+-------------------
Reporter: Ben | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: 0.9.0
Version: master | Keywords: web
-------------------+-------------------
The current state of the web-ui is quite difficult to define: there are a
few buttons / fields that are present, but that are either not working,
not linked to anything, or simply to placeholder data.
Overall, this gives quite a spooky experience, where clicking on an
element is a sort of random game about "will something happen or not". I
think we need to get rid of the mockup effect and move toward a working
interface.
In the long term, we educate ourself not to pay attention about those,
which is also a very bad thing.
The reason why I would like to get a green light about cleaning them up.
The idea then, is to progressively re-add elements as we implement them
through.
Non-exhaustive list of affected elements:
- the about page (all the placeholders)
- all the rawdata elements.
- all columns without values (for example: the "owner" for the builders)
- the promote and rebuild buttons on the build page
