Also need information on the file itself for the file browser; need to supply the specifics, please ping me for these when you get to this

I can tackle this any time now. I'm thinking that we'll want an API that will return the stats for a collection of files at once (to reduce the number of round trips). Perhaps something that passes in a collection of files:

["project1/foo/bar/baz", "project2/other/file/path"]

and the return would be something like:

{ 'project1/foo/bar/baz' : {
size: 1000,
edits: 57,
created: <SOME DATE/TIME FORMAT>,
modified: <SOME DATE/TIME FORMAT>
} ...
}

At this point, the edits themselves are opaque to me. Should I start parsing those to get the types of edits? What other stats are you looking for/are available to be stored?

There's an assignee set, so these should be ASSIGNED. If you're listed as the assignee, and you don't plan on working on this bug, please remove yourself from the assignee field and set this back to NEW.

This bug was filed before Bespin went public and it currently targeted for the 0.1 line of development (or no line at all). Since there is unlikely to be any further 0.1.x release, please re-evaluate this bug: Has it already been fixed? Should it be pushed to a later release? Or is it no longer relevant?

[This has been a mass public service announcement.]

This is a mass migration from Mozilla Labs :: Bespin to Bespin :: General.

This bug likely still needs to be triaged and categorized.

Comment 6

[Gordon P. Hemsley [:GPHemsley]]

This bug was originally targeted for 0.1.x, but there will be no more releases on that line. Please reevaluate this bug to determine whether it has been fixed (and note the changeset), or if it should be targeted for a later release.

[Mass comment to all open 0.1.x bugs.]

Until we redesign a new dashboard feature, this is not needed.
