Questions on bug 2277.

So I'm working on Bug 2277 - which is to add an additional option to the entry page to allow preview-with-cuts as well as regular preview.

I think this would be an awesome feature.

I have two beginner questions:

1. Obviously we're not hacking on the old entry page any more, so this would be a feature added to the new entry page. Am I even allowed to hack on the new entry page, or should I leave that to Fu?

2. What is the feature name for the new entry page? There's a wiki page on how to add beta features to your 'hack, but I couldn't find a list of beta features we currently have running and their backend names.

Thanks in advance, folks!

2) I can't give you the exact answer yet because I'm not home but I think one way to get the internal name is to view the 'turn beta on/off' page in debug mode (?uselang=debug) as I seem to remember it's in the text string name.

Thank you, I'll take a look!

ETA: Wow, that's a really useful feature that I had not comprehended before. Thank you! And, okay, I think I've found it, and when someone has told me whether or not I have permission, I shall give it a go.

Thanks again!

?uselang=debug has saved my bacon more times than I can count!

I'm working on something that's for the new update page, as well.

(Well, for certain values of 'working')

Not sure that's a blanket 'yes' (and it'd probably good to check in with Fu just to get your bearings?) but I don't think it'd be a problem.

Answering to both: I heartily encourage anyone who wants to work on the new update page.

Well then. I seem to have hit a roadblock in refactoring to deal with the way we talked about displaying the results, and while I understand what I want to do with the code structure, I'm getting hopelessly lost in syntactical details (mostly dealing with variable scope and name definitions).

When is a good time to sit down with you for an hour or two on IRC? I seem to keep missing you (or have not been looking, yay work-avoidance stragetery =/)
