We had a listing of pending requests in the Build Service for a while. Unfortunately, it was mashed together with “My Projects” view and one couldn’t do anything with them. Few days ago, Jan Loeser added support for handling these requests directly in the web client. I liked the idea, so I decided to spend some time on it, too. I moved the request listing to a separate page and added some nifty Tango icons for the actions, so they wouldn’t take too much of the precious space. Also, the design doesn’t use tables-in-table anymore. You can view the result on the following image or directly in the Build Service.

PS: The page still looks like it was designed by programmers, but as usual you are welcome to help us! :-)

    How difficult would it be to add some mouse tooltips to the action icons in the listing? Their meaning is not always immediately obvious (at least not to me), so I would find a simple description tooltip handy.

    I can see the action description in the bottom status line of the web browser though, but to actually spot it means moving eye focus down and then up again.

    Well, my commit included tooltips, but someone did some changes and dropped the tooltips in process :-( Fixed in SVN, don’t know when it’ll be deployed …
