Description
After reading the chatter the other day about comment data and import/export, I've been thinking our arrangement could be something like this:
- The userscript/extension source code would have no default comment data whatsoever.
- A repository (could be a secondary repo, the main one or a branch) would have the default comment data in json or text format.
- A data file per site URL would make it easy for misc contributors from other sites to get good site specific data into as many hands as possible.
- A fallback URL would have generic data to be loaded in any site that does not have a custom data set contributed.
- The first time the popup runs on a new site it would detect that the localStorage has no default comment data for that site.
- A popup would prompt the user to import data with an "import from URL" option pre-filled out with the relevant URL (but editable) and a "or paste data here" field to allow for users mucking around in their data manually or copying from a meta site post.
- For sites that already have data in localStorage, a an "edit data" link would take the user back to the import form where they can either refresh from the URL or edit/paste in a new data set.
How does that arrangement scan?
