Description
I used wicket today mostly successfully to test some stuff. While I had watched demos, there were a few observation that I jotted down trying to use it that I wanted to list here. I'm not sure if these all should be acted upon, but thought I should mention them. I'm leaving triaging off and will let folks working on it figure out what milestone is appropriate if any. I realize these may not be the clearest, so please reach out.
- Would love some way to tell what's present or not at the wicket home page.
- Seeing everything greyed out made me think that nothing was detected (didn't realize I should have tabbed over). Though everything was colored as though it existed when I did.
- Some way to discover available keys. Maybe '?' can pop up how to do things?
- On update screen would love a way to know which sleds exist or are present at all.
- What is the MGS connected status for and what does it mean? I see it counting up which at first made me think it was how long I was connected to it, but then it always resets.
- I had no way to discover that hitting enter on the mupdate screen would have led to showing details while actively performing an update.
- Status for installinator is
Waiting for progress (at 0.00ns)during the host update sequence but that's probably related to #3282.
