How can we support bullet lists or other formatting such as the release notes for v1.5.0 found on this page?

http://telecom.dei.unipd.it/ns/woss/doxygen/Changelog.html

When inputting data, the name of the form field lies below the form entry field itself, and is spaced in such a way that it seems to be associated with the next field entry. This can cause editors to lose track of which form field corresponds to which item.

See attached example. The 'Contact Email' field is shown, but the text 'Link to the Code Repository' lies above it and is spaced in such a way that it is closer to the box than the 'Contact Email' label. On an empty form, I would naturally think that the box below 'Link to the Code Repository' would be where I would enter that information.

Possible solutions:

1. change spacing so that field labels are more visually bound to the field above them than below them.
2. place field labels above, not below, the form entry field
3. place field labels to the left of form entry fields

I tend to think that 2 or 3 is better than 1, but suggest to implement 1) for now if it is much less work.

Furthermore, at present, when typing into a form field, Firefox will display a 'your connection is not secure' hovering box below the form field, obscuring the field name, due to mixed use of http and https. While this might be fixed by consistent use of https, at the moment it has the effect of obscuring the name of the form entry field, causing editor to move his or her mouse away to see this information.

Delete 'package dependencies' here; editor can add with Markdown in the Installation tab

I could not upload a bakeconf.xml; I got a 403 error: CSRF verification failed. Request aborted.

Apps are located on the site under the path e..g

Home -> Apps -> Apps -> World Ocean Simulation System

instead of

Home -> Apps -> World Ocean Simulation System

Is this a directory structure that needs adjusted?

Right now, the Download button points directly to a website or a tar file. Ideally, a new download page should be created which explains the different methods that can be used by a user for installation.

We discussed removing the menu-based selection of authors, leaving it instead for the editor to place in the 'Details' page

It seems that it may be awkward to treat the development version of a module exactly the same as a release. My goal is that the app store will serve the XML of the development repo for users interested in it, but perhaps there needs to be an attribute in the XML or else in the app metadata to distinguish a release from a development tree.

Development version should not show up on the Releases tab.

What is the purpose of having separately an 'identity' and 'name' for tags?

There doesn't appear to be a menu item for an editor to remove or edit a field of a previously submitted release.

There is no way for editor to reorder the releases, if they are submitted out of order, and there seems to be no way to override the release that is featured on the right hand menu, which is populated with the first one added.

I added a couple of past releases (3.22 and then 3.26) and now the pull-down menu shows '3.27' followed by '3.22' followed by '3.26'; can these be reordered? Can the default be to insert a new ns-3 release at the top of the menu bar?

Similarly, I have a question about how we organize tags as the tag list grows; we may want to reorder.

When submitting a release, no field is presented to enter a release date. Once published, the release date of the submission date is presented. This should be an editable field.

The pluralization of 'instructions' and 'maintenance' on this page may be interpreted as a misspelling. I suggest to leave it as 'Instructions' and 'Maintenance'

On the top search bar, I was able to search for 'Epidemic', but searches for 'Underwater', or 'World', turned up nothing. What metadata is searched by this bar?

In the WOSS application, the 'Documentation' field in the right hand menu points to the app itself instead of to the documentation field entry in the database.

Build Test Suite for the entire web application.

I realize that this is debug mode, but should even a normal 404 be delivered if there are no more 'newest releases' to be shown? Why is the link there if it is dead?

Hi, I tried setting up the project and set up the virtual environment and activated it as well. However when I try to run migrations I get the following errors.

Tried changing the appstore/settings/base.py file from

from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse_lazy

to

from django.urls import reverse_lazy

but got the following error.

Let me know how we can solve this error!

• "Rate The App" Button text is overflowing.
• Display stars in the star rating properly
• All Apps -> Newest Releases has an issue in alignment.

When selecting a 'default release' for an app, the pull down menu provides the editor with releases from unrelated modules. Only the releases made on that module should show as options.

I'd like the following 6 links, that are editable by the editors
'Website'
'Repository'
'Wiki'
'Documentation'
'Issue Tracker'
'Mailing List'

If editor fails to populate any of these, the field is omitted from the Resources menu.

Is it possible to allow the user, when submitting a release, to make the Download button direct the user instead to an anchored location in the Installation tab?

Can these tabs have URLs? e.g. http://ns-apps.ee.washington.edu/app/worldoceansimulationsystem#installation

The reason for this is that, for more complicated apps, with lots of dependencies, the module author may want to point the user to more detailed instructions or options for downloading rather than simply grabbing an archive.

Cross-Browser issues have been identified in the site which causes the site to render differently in Firefox and IE compared to Chrome and Firefox. This is mainly because the heights and fonts are rendered differently!

• Update User Guide in wiki with latest screenshots and workflow.
• Make sure the current documentation is upto date. If not, update it.

When submitting or editing a release, the release date should be settable to a past date.

If one creates an app from scratch, there is an option to add XML for bake. However, if the editor declines to do this initially, but later wants to add the XML, I could not find a place in the editor pages to add it.

Example: https://apps.nsnam.org/app/lorawan

A cleaner 'page missing' should be returned for missing pages; e.g. https://apps.nsnam.org/app/

Give the users to add/delete screenshots in the frontend.

For users, there should be a new landing page which shows the apps that can be edited by him/her.

I tried to edit the WOSS app and associate it with the newly created 'Underwater Acoustic Networks' tag, but I couldn't get it to stick.

Modify ns-3-AppStore/src/util/parse_bake.py to make sure that a bakefile is properly parsed and an app can be edited/created using the data. Make sure creation works, this will be useful when the App Creation process is automated.

After submitting a release, a blank screen is presented to the editor. I suggest to return to the app page.

When clicking on any category, no apps are displayed (see, for example, clicking on 'Underwater Acoustic Networks' category.

should not be active until editor sets it to active

Current Ratings feature does not provide discussion capabilities. Developers should be able to reply to user comments and issues.

• Create a deploy script (shell script) that needs to be run each time a redeployment happens
• The deploy script should cover everything from pulling from GitHub to restarting server

This will be useful to setup GitHub webhooks and automate the deployment process.

Some of the cytoscape elements need integration with the ns-3 backend code. These include :

• Ratings
• Forms need work - Use crispy forms
• Fix broken links
• Change tags and authors to be accessed by name ?
