Description

full names in issue listings just eats too much real-estate. If there's a way to use initials instead, even if it means changing developer user-names, let's do it.

History

Is this issue still valid? If it is, what about one of below styles?

1. David Patrick => David P. Jin-young Heo => Jin-young H.
2. David Patrick => D. Patrick Jin-young Heo => J. Heo
3. David Patrick => D. P. Jin-young Heo => J. H.
4. David Patrick => David Jin-young Heo => Jin-young
5. David Patrick => Patrick Jin-young Heo => Heo

Yeap. We can split a name by space and choose one of them or compress them :-)

yup!
I think the screen real-estate on the ticket listings is too valuable to squander on outrageously long names like; Buckingham.

If it can be done, please render them as initials.

D.P.

or, why not just

DP

k?

OK. I modified code to show a combination of first character like DP, JH.

It DOES look good ! Now, to fully recover the screen real-estate, is it possible to change the headings
AUTHOR ASSIGNED TO
becomes
BY TO
?

this will give us maximum screen real-estate for the more important information

sure!!

But one more thing.

The field name is defined in lang/en.yml file. So result of required changing will be applied whole our site. For example, in a history of wiki page, the "Author" filed is going to be shown "By". :-)

Ahh well if it affects more than the Issues listing, then we had better think before acting..
.. or can we just try it and revert if we hate it ?
