Scheduled Downtime

[benortiz]

I'd like to be able to specify a time in the future for when scheduled maintenance to occur. I'd want it to automatically switch to a status message at a given time. Perhaps this would work best with the upcoming version based on the github API.

Wouldn't you want an extra box informing a visitor that a maintenance is about to happen at X?

No.

ah cool, sorry your screenshot looks like it may have already been implemented. +1 from me for this feature 👍

Is there any ETA on this?

I'm taking a crack at this right now and have a POC done on a branch right now.

Maintenance windows are different then how other types are handled as you usually need a start time and end time rather then just using an open issue as the start time and the time of the updates as time markers.

I handled this by using the title formatted as "Start Date/Time - End Date/Time" with the labels to mark service and that is was a maintenance window. You should be able to use any time format that is parseable by python-dateutil. This adds the blue notification box as @jayfk had shown in his mockup. You will need to run an update once you are in the time window of the maintenance window and the status will change to "Maintenance". I still need to do a bit more testing before I feel comfortable with these changes and PR them.

If anyone has any feedback or ideas on how to make it better before I add a PR feel free to post them.
