Global private chat for Editors
Context
This idea came up in a meeting with HHMI on 30 Nov. Currently, the Assessment Builder workflows allow for three chat scenarios:
- Chat between the editors and the author of an item
- Chat between the editors and the reviewer of a item during the "In review" stage
- Chat between the editors and the production team working on the item during the "In production" stage
There is no private (in-app) chat for the editors.
Proposal
Use cases
- As a managing editor, sometimes I need to discuss work load or upcoming availability with handling editors before assigning items to them.
- As a managing editor, sometimes I need to discuss the reviewers who may be invited to review items with the handling editors.
HHMI's preference id for the chat to be a global, meaning all MEs and HEs have access to one chat space, independent of the items. This works well when discussion need to happen about many items at one time.
