Archiving discussions

Hey guys,

Paul mentioned that he'd be keen to start working on implementing archiving discussions if we're ready for it (conversation following from http://loom.io/discussions/375).

This feature would mean that users (or perhaps just group admins) would be able to archive discussions in a group so that they are hidden from the default view (and perhaps accessible from a separate tab?)

Perhaps something like Aaron's mock-up which is attached to this trello card: https://trello.com/c/e6qU7I4k.

My gut feeling says that we might want to do some paper-prototypes first and make sure we're happy with the feature itself before building it.

The one thing I'm conscious of is that we are currently lacking in "specced out" features for our developers to work on. So it'd be cool to get some paper prototypes going asap so that we have more features ready for our developers to take on and start developing right away.

Thoughts?

I think paper prototyping sounds like the way to go! I think clearing out old information is important and will help a lot with people knowing what to focus on, but I'm not really sure the best way to implement it.

Also: Archive and Inactive aren't mutually exclusive. It might be the case that it's worth using both.

yeah I am keen for this to happen but I don't see an immediately obvious/uncontentious solution hence would prefer it got prototyped.

Scratching my head for potential features: what about csv imports for invites?

Keen for paper prototyping! And for Paul to be involved in the prototyping process somehow - via Skype maybe?

CSV imports is something that's been asked for a lot!

Yammer-style Reply-to function I think would also be universally loved!

(actually even before csv imports, just being able to input multiple addresses for sending invites would be a good first step)

CSV imports, yikes, sounds like we better prepare for some rapid group expansion if that feature goes viral.

It would be cool to be involved in the prototyping/planning process.

I am aware that you're still trying to figure out a remote collaboration planning process so if it's easier to keep it local for now that's cool.

If you've got ideas for something that might work (Skype + ?) I'm happy to be the test subject haha.

Yep we'll skype you in. Hang ten brother.
