Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-16375:
---------------------------------------------

Thanks for the video.

A) That filters box is for me too complex. I dont understand why we need three options? when will there ever be multiple versions of a connector ?  Why not just have "Show installed" and "Allow early access". when the user toggles this he should be warned about the downsides of this....AND when untoggling it the earlyaccess updatesites should be removed from his install since otherwise he risk getting them when running updates.

B) When enabling early access - the other connectors which id overlap should just not be there. i.e. it does not make sense to allow the user to install both of these and he already said "enable early access".

C) The questionn about color and indicators I would get our UX person involved with once we got the above figured out. I don't think marking the whole connector yellow helps much.

D) Once earlyaccess is enabled Central itself on the first page should look different too somehow so it is clear it is not a "normal install"

> In order to make it easier for people to consume some "Beta" extensions from JBT or JBDS release (such as installing a Beta of JBT-IS on top of a JBT release), it would make sense to have Central allow users to select some catalogs in a UI entry such as "Include Experimental stuff" to show additional catalog entries.
> Either this could be a single catalog with the experimental content being annotated, or it could be 2 (or more catalogs) which have different quality levels.
> The Central UI will need to give feedback on the quality level for a given entry ("supported" or "experimental" or ...).
