Change Request
For the 'wish list' I would like to suggest a couple of features.
1. People who don't own a sentence can click an icon (check a checkbox) when posting a comment to make it an official request to change a sentence.
2. Add an extra line to the "Your Links" section of the profile.
* View all my sentences
* View sentences with change requests
* View my favorite sentences
* Sentences with undetected language
Reason:
It is too easy for sentence owners to miss comments. For example I suspect fcbond hasn't noticed the comment I made in the following link.
http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/79465
Maybe that's a bit too complicated. At least there are several other feature requests in the pipe, that might have more impact.
As you indicated in the 2nd note already though, adding a "news feed" for requests on one's sentences is surely needed.
I would propose to change your request into something with a broadend scope: "disown request" to disown sb by taking over their sentence. This could also be used on inactive users. Some time without reaction *zing* you go ahead.
I also was considering recommending a way of taking over neglected sentences, but I considered the 'change request' to be a less controversial idea. After all not everybody who's away for a month or two has actually given up.
maybe in a more general way, we can make something "a la twitter", I mean, when you want a comment to be notify to someone, you just @userNickName, and maybe add a "feed" section in the profile
anyway in future release we plan to review a bit the architecture, add some category in the profile, and make your profile a more central page
what do you think ?
PS: for disowning, I will see with Trang how she planned to handle it (we used to talk about that, but i've a weak memory :( )
The way I envision it is not really "disowning", it's more about finding a better owner if the current owner doesn't do his job (kind of like, if you're a bad parent, your kids are taken away).
But I still don't know what would be the best solution because we don't really have a real need for that yet. I mean, it's not very frequent that you'd want to disown someone from his/her sentences. Which means it's not an urgent feature either.
Normally he fcbond should have received a notfication when you commented his sentence, but the notification system was broken :'( ...about 100 notifications that should have been sent but weren't, *sigh*.
Anyway, having a link to a page that lists the comments posted on your sentences is something I should have done a long time ago... When I decided to integrate an "ownership/adoption" system in replacement of the moderation system we used to have, it was obvious that users should be able to quickly access comments on their sentences.
But I think that having a checkbox would be add unnecessary complexity. People will usually read all the comments on their sentences, so there's no need to filter out specifically those that require a correction.
