(It sounds like Facebook has updated to HEAD or somewhere near it, or something. This is an umbrella task for feedback about UI changes.)
In the last four months we've built a lot of new stuff, including per-object privacy and repository hosting. Many of these new features involve UI changes, reorganizations, or new UI elements.
We developed and deployed most of these features over the course of the last four months and sought feedback when we built them, incorporated that feedback, and ended up with designs which all installs giving us feedback were happy with. Facebook hasn't had anyone staying in touch with the upstream during this time. After the debacle last summer we met with Facebook and created the "FacebookPOC" list to solve this issue of Facebook being surprised by updates. Over the last four months, we've CC'd the list on essentially every relevant-to-Facebook or otherwise notable change we've made in the upstream.
This install (secure.phabricator.com) also stays near HEAD, so you can poke around and check out what we're working on at any time (almost all content has been public -- no login required -- since we built that feature). Additionally, we publish monthly changelogs to the Facebook page, phabricator.org site, and twitter feed.
Basically, the best time to provide UI feedback about features is when we are building them, and we try to make it very easy to keep an eye on what we're building. That ship has sailed on most of the changes since September, in that we consider them stable and shipped, and we can no longer be as flexible about making UI and functional changes as we could have been if feedback had been more timely.
That said, we're still open to feedback. Just don't expect miracles if you're complaining about stuff we built four months ago and which every other install has been happy with since then.
(Last time, a small amount of the feedback was legitimate bug reports rather than UI feedback. We're thrilled to receive these no matter how late they are.)
So far:
- New vertical display of reviewers (implemented for T1279) "feels more sparse". See T1279 for discussion of this feature.
- Request to reduce/hide policy information on objects (like "All Users" in the subheader of many revisions). See T603 for discussion of this feature.
