====== Planning ======

//this page is a stub!//

===== 2024 Off-Season Wishlist =====

  * Start the beginning of an onboarding program for community developers
  * Modernize the Scoutradioz landing page experience
  * Update Voyager with scouter functionality in Mothership
    * Add "super scouting" to Voyager
    * Update "per user scouting dashboard" to show only the matches the user is assigned to (rather than all six in each match where the user has an assignment)
  * Improve general app navigation
  * Implement using images to enable capturing auto paths

==== Stretch goals ====

  * Add OAuth authentication, separate "user login" from "per-team entitlements" - i.e., a single OAuth authenticated login could be associated to multiple teams
  * Ingest TBA's OPR/cOPR data and statbotics EPA, allow teams to incorporate with their own metrics
  * Implement a 'zero-org' **purely** OPR/cOPR/EPA view set, i.e. can select any event and see Scoutradioz metrics/etc. even if no team is scouting
  * Add APIs - e.g. integrating with The Purple Standard, or enabling teams to programmatically download their own data, etc.
  * WYSIWYG form editing

==== Bugfixes/optimizations ====

  * Revise the 'browse by event' view to cache the data & not recalculate it every page load
  * More guardrails / automatically sniffing out suggestions (e.g., "set who is present", "you should manually enter data", etc.)

==== Long-term Wishlist ====

  * Enable browser-based Bluetooth to share large amounts of data between offline Voyager instances
  * Share robot pit scouting photos to/from Voyager
  * Incorporate analytics directly into Voyager

===== Notes from teams at 2024 Worlds =====

We met with many Scoutradioz-using teams at Worlds over the course of the event and asked them two questions:
  - “What do you **love** the most about Scoutradioz?” and,
  - “If you could __ask__ for one thing to be added/fixed/changed/etc., what would it be?”

  * [[https://www.thebluealliance.com/team/5914/|5914]] - **Love:** Can see all the data at once
    * __Ask:__ SR team should do more to get the word out

  * [[https://www.thebluealliance.com/team/5885/|5885]] - **Love:** Gives you a lot of insights that public sites don't, comments from your team. First year using it, going pretty good so far!
    * __Ask:__ Improve the interface, it's tough to navigate

  * [[https://www.thebluealliance.com/team/2531/|2531]] - Like: whole interface, features, alliance selection
    * __Ask:__ Between regionals, set up different rosters for different events
    * __Ask:__ Be able to preplan what events you're going to
    * __Ask:__ Enable use of temporary accounts for a single event

  * [[https://www.thebluealliance.com/team/3006/|3006]] - used in the previous year, not this year
    * __Ask:__ needs offline //(we then explained about Voyager)//

  * [[https://www.thebluealliance.com/team/456/|456]] - **Love:** It’s better than Fires; SR easier, more depth
    * __Ask:__ Can we blend data? Fires blends data, good for sanity checking

  * [[https://www.thebluealliance.com/team/8576/|8576]] - **Love:** worked so much better, versatile, dispersed scouting
    * __Ask:__ Make it easier to change the pit scouting questions

  * [[https://www.thebluealliance.com/team/5584/|5584]] - **Love:** fantastic! like the drive team dashboard
    * __Ask:__ Had issues with bad cell //(mentioned Voyager, they hadn’t had time to kick the tires)//
    * __Ask:__ Could we browse by event? //(mentioned the new “browse” link which newly enables browsing by event)//

  * [[https://www.thebluealliance.com/team/8738/|8738]] - **Love:** scouting was the differentiator, enabled playoffs success; tablets have been huge! “I love it because I see the results” //(from one mentor who works for Salesforce)//

  * [[https://www.thebluealliance.com/team/1899/|1899]] - **Love:** all the data you can see at once
    * __Ask:__ Can it be even more optimized for a phone? There is so much info, it’s hard to use on phone e.g. all team metrics

  * [[https://www.thebluealliance.com/team/1640/|1640 ]]
    * __Ask:__ Be able to record auton paths

  * [[https://www.thebluealliance.com/team/4048/|4048 ]]

    * __Ask:__ Enable fixed scheduling, being able to assign people specifically

  * [[https://www.thebluealliance.com/team/1912/|1912]] - **Love:** so awesome, we love it, very user friendly, I figured it out the first time; This is the first year we did scouting
    * __Ask:__ JSON file building via WYSIWYG / drag and drop interface. 

  * [[https://www.thebluealliance.com/team/7166/|7166]] - **Love:** information you get from it (provided we put good data in), we use alliance selection the most
    * __Ask:__ 'Can you make me read the docs?' 😆
    * __Ask:__ Can we provide multiple quick YouTube videos walking through individual stuff

  * [[https://www.thebluealliance.com/team/5987/|5987]] - One complaint, they had a problem where all the data got wiped out earlier. That aside, **Love:** liked it, using it this year, really good!

  * [[https://www.thebluealliance.com/team/8513/|8513]] - **Love:** All Team Metrics
    * __Ask:__ When assigning, could assign specific people? interfered with pit crew, time control

  * [[https://www.thebluealliance.com/team/6002/|6002]] - **Love:** fav, so easy to assign something, still allows anybody to cover
    * __Ask:__ Why only show 15 matches in the scouting dashboards?
    * __Ask:__ Why didn't the scouting dashboards refresh? //(make it clearer when/if the FRC events data flow is offline)//
    * __Ask:__ Pull in OPR and EPA

  * [[https://www.thebluealliance.com/team/245/|245]] - **Love:** it's been really helpful, we didn't bring our scouting team, like the radar

    * __Ask:__ Multi scouts in the same organization, average, pull more scouts in

  * [[https://www.thebluealliance.com/team/1250/|1250]] - **Love:** Drive team dashboard absolutely amazing, alliance selection & data, also awesome
    * __Ask:__ Ability to +/-5 on alliance data
    * __Ask:__ Multiple scenarios in picklisting

...plus several new teams, very enthusiastic but not yet having feedback 🙂
