Survey: Understand package data priorities and organisation
What’s this issue all about?
User surveys to understand user needs around package registry or container registry data. This research should focus on the "what".
Who is the target user of the feature?
Users who interact directly with the container registry or package registry.
- Systems administrators
- Software developers
- Dev-ops engineers
What questions are you trying to answer?
Is there any registry level data that is relevant to the user?
What package/image data is most important to the users?
How would users organise this information?
Core questions
What pieces of information are most important and should be prioritised?
How should this information be organised to optimise a user's workflow?
Additional questions
How often could the data users need to look up in package be connected to other parts of the GitLab environment?
What hypotheses and/or assumptions do you have?
The top data points will be:
- Creation date
- Last pulled/used date
- Merge/Pipeline origin data Packages (npm, conan, maven, etc) will follow similar trends Docker images may be an outlier
What decisions will you make based on the research findings?
How data will be prioritised and organised
What's the latest milestone that the research will still be useful to you?
