I've tried out the tool. I can see it being useful for some projects,
and should be available as a choice.
However, I would not use it as it is, and hope the existing reporter
gets upgraded, not replaced by the wizard. I much prefer to view the
whole report as a unit, not just as a series of separate pieces.
If it is to become the main way of editing reports it really needs an
option to view and edit a draft with one or two clicks, not clicking
through all the windows.
It would be better to present the help text for each window in a
separate text area, so that it can remain visible after there is actual
content.
I can definitely see your arguments/frustrations, and a unified option
would be a great addition - it will be tricky to cram all that
information into a single text box though, and will likely require a lot
of logic to figure out where in the report you are, and what assistance
you need, so as to not display everything all at once and overwhelm the
layout (and the user). So I opted for the steps as a good starting
point. That is not to say the unified editing can't be done, but it
would take a while to figure out how to go about setting it all up,
graphically and logically.
I have some ideas on the drawing board myself for this, but if anyone
has any concrete ideas on how to solve this, I'd be happy to hear from
you :)

Pretty neat.
Could add a send draft to list feature (private@ or dev@ for
community review).
Does it support editing by multiple people? Can one person resume a
draft saved by another?
It's being worked on, though there are some considerations to consider
first (so we don't end up with a too-many-chefs issue).
Would be nice to have questions from the previous board feedback
auto-populated to be answered in the current report.
Also in the works, we just have to figure out some permission issues
here, as we'd be pulling the data from whimsy.

Hi folks,
I've been working on a new board report tool to help address some of
the
most common issues with the current tool (mainly that it favors
auto-inserted metrics over the story and doesn't guide people very
well)
and have thus far come up with this new wizard:
https://reporter.apache.org/wizard/
It's open to all committers to review, though easiest if you're on a
PMC
of some sort. There are some ideas being brewed, and some features that
aren't complete (such as the draft/publish buttons and additional
helper
text).
I'd like people to take a look, and provide some feedback. I am
stringly
contemplating either replacing the existing reporter tool with this
(but
keeping the getjson.py which powers both), or a link from the old to
the
new.
Anyway, feedback is most welcome!
Things will probably change as we go along and feedback comes in.
With regards,
Daniel.
