Remaining features / tasks before public release

[Nexucis]

This discussion is about what needs to be done before announcing Perses can be used for the first time publicly (even if it's not prod ready).

Here a first list :

• Dashboard CRUD : UI: Dashboard deletion flow #823 UI: Dashboard creation flow #818
• Project CRUD
• Getting datasources is spamming the backend #806
• Bugs reported in https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1neE7hzy3wx57u6swvZnHbN7PVeuxnx2cBQqSDNNuTHk/edit with P1 and P2 priority
• if we have time, nested folder management Manage a sub-folder system #183

Initial target date to announce Perses: End of February

I think we need to finish also the discussion about the global variable: #226

Below is a collection of items from the UI devs on the chronosphere side with links to relevant issues, where I could find them.

• Set up storybook to provide better example and documentation for consumers. Set up Storybook to document FE packages  #918 -- Note from 2023-01-23 meeting: this may not be critical if we're focusing on the app use case
• Improved test coverage to increase confidence in the stability of the project
• UI package organizational improvements and associated improvements to the contributor documentation for the UI sections of the code.
• Set up a play/demo site with reliable test data. Demo Environment #883, Ability to use local demo data #919
• Improved APIs for the dashboard header components.
• Finish discussion on [BREAKINGCHANGE] Add a consistent JSON tab for every panel plugin

As part of putting that list together, a good question came up around the focus of the release. This would be a good discussion topic for our next meeting.

For the first "public" release, are we targeting Perses as a standalone application or UI framework? I think answering that will help frame what needs to be done.

It'd be good to fix #894 as well to make using our FE packages easier, I ran into some issues when trying to embed Perses that required finding workarounds (example).

There's an open question about schema versioning that came up in the 2022-01-23 meeting.

This discussion can be closed as we made a presentation at PromCon 2023 to announce Perses in the opensource community.

Next target will be to announce it's totally ready to use at PromCon 2024.
