(This has the added benefit of working in the shared/podium machine scenario.)
We've added an upload progress meter that users can see on the Relay website. We've tweaked and retweaked the upload progess dialog multiple times. How does a person see the status of the upload regardless of what machine they’re on? (Then we come full-circle to what we already have.). How does this behave if someone else is logged in? Should they only see the status of their own uploads?. How does the software accurately estimate how long the file will take to upload considering that there are a lot of variables here?. How much bandwidth is used while the upload is occurring?. Does the admin get notified on the server of a paused upload? Won't that add a lot of work for admins?. How does the user get notified? On the client machine?. What happens if an upload is paused for a specific period of time? Does the recorder remind the user?. Do you disable pausing on shared machines considering that that user may not login for a long time in the future? If so, how do you determine it's a shared machine?. Does a pause only affect that user’s uploads? Or the uploads of all users on that machine?. This is a Pandora’s box sorta feature. (Many presenters give presentations from shared machines.) A client-side uploader notification only works from the machine from which the presentation was made. (The presentation will continue to upload even if the presenter is logged off the machine.) This would likely cause many presenters to wait until the presentation was fully uploaded which is unnecessary. (or at the very least, CONCERNS TO ADDRESS) Requested Solution – Upload Progress Notification NEGATIVES The presenter would likely be more assured that the system is processing the presentation. The presenter would have a better understanding of how long it would take for the file to upload to the server. Requested Solution – Upload Progress Notification POSITIVES In general, Presenters don’t know the status of an Upload from the presentation machine and how long it will take to complete. Presenters are shutting down their laptops before a presentation has uploaded. Here are some thoughts on this that I wrote up for my team members a while ago.
