= Project selection in the Manager = Currently the Choose Project page in the Manager shows an alphabetic list of project names. Hovering over a project name brings up a balloon with the project description. This UI is useful only for users who want to run a specific project, and who know its name. It's not useful, e.g., for users who want to volunteer for environment-related projects. Other specific problems: * Balloons don't wrap (on Win) and text is lost. * Funky balloon behavior: they persist even when move mouse. * Text is not translatable. * Info about project area, subarea, and institution is not shown, even though it's available to the manager == Proposed redesign == * The Choose Project page has left and right panes. * The left pane is a scrollable list of project names, grouped by area (Biomedicine, Environment, !Astronomy/Physics, etc.), alphabetic within area. Each area is preceded by a header row. * The right pane shows a description of a particular project, including * Area * Subarea * Institution * description (scrollable if needed) * link to project web site * whether project can use your multicore CPU or GPU * Hovering over a project name in left pane brings up its info in right pane * Everything is translatable (even, potentially, project names). == Issues == * Moving the mouse from left to right pane would be tricky. Maybe it's better to click on project name rather than hover.
