<br>
1) Make @buildbot and Do: consistent. It seems odd to do "Do: check" or<br>
"Do: merge" and then "@buildbot test". I would expect "Do: test"<br>
<br>
2) Recognition is better than remembering. It is easier for infrequent<br>
developers to **recognize** what they want to do rather than<br>
**remembering** what to do. A good example of this is if you add "Do:<br>
oops" to a merge request it will respond with a list of valid options so<br>
that you can **recognize** what you really wanted, as opposed to just<br>
responding with an error and forcing the user to again try to **remember**<br>
the correct option. In that vein it might be nice to have the frequently<br>
used commands shown. Ideally the GUI has them as options and the user<br>
just picks (recognition), but that means messing with the GUI. A not quite<br>
as good alternative would be to maybe have a small part of the GUI on the<br>
merge request page show the basic commands<br>
<br>
Do: ***<br>
@buildbot ***<br>
Add reviewer with @...<br>
<br>
Or maybe have the "Do: check" output include that help sort of a<br>
<br>
"Hey passed basic content checks, the next steps are often... Do: ****,<br>
@buildbot **** etc"<br>
<br>
I'm sure those of us using this every day will learn the commands and<br>
remember them, but less frequent contributors might get lost.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
