    Adding icons to pages and topics
    **Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**Our client would like to add icons to the pages and topics to visually differentiate different types of pages and topics on the "Help" pages. **Describe the solution you'd like**Add possibility to define icons for pages and topics. **Describe alternatives you've considered**The whole CMS should be thought out from ground up, as the current CMS features of Decidim are very limited. This could be part of thinking how to manage content and navigational structures within the system in the bigger picture (e.g. navigating Metadecidim to find the feature proposal form takes 4 clicks if you're already signed in, is this good usability?). **Additional context** Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.Related ideas:Allow defining static page content using the content blocksAllow adding multiple same type of content blocks on pagePossibility to configure the top level navigationPossibility to configure the participatory space navigation **Does this issue could impact on users private data?*Nope.

    Posting a comment is very slow
    Has anyone else noticed that only recently it takes ages (in computer terms) to post a comment? This seems to apply to the very latest versions of Decidim, I've noticed this in the current development versions as well as Metadecidim. It used to be "lightning" fast compared to the current situation.I just posted a comment on Metadecidim and timed it took more than 15 seconds for the comment to appear in the UI. This seems wrong, it should be instantly visible or take maximum of 2 seconds.

    Possibility for admins to edit anyone's proposals
    Yes, I know. This allows corruption. But so allows direct database access. Those who want to corrupt the data in the system are already able to do it and they are not definitely limited by the UI of the system.The problems this causes at least:Users upload copyrighted material e.g. image or attachment. Admins cannot remove that.Users include personal data in their proposals and someone claims their personal details has to be removed. Admins cannot remove that.Because of this, many otherwise good proposals to be hidden from the system with moderation. People are and should not be that aware of copyrights or laws related to them. People make mistakes, this cannot be avoided as long as we are humans.Admins will get the claims that there is copyrighted material on their service and they have to take care of the situation. Currently only way to deal with them are hiding the whole content through reporting.This does not seem correct to me.

    [WCAG 2.1 / AA: 3.2.2] Do not dynamically change the page content on filtering f...
    The WCAG 2.1 says that individual form inputs should not change the context of a web page. Only the submit button of a form should change the context as that is what users would be accustomed to on web pages. Another way is to advise the user in advance what the form does but I believe this would add unnecessary complexity to the view. In case the dynamic fields are kept, they should be marked with an aria-controls attribute indicating only the changed part. E.g. on the proposals page we cannot target the element with ID "proposals" with this as it has the sorting controls before the changed context starts. The implementation should be rethought if the dynamic filtering needs to be kept. Here's also one additional view about the aria-controls attribute: https://heydonworks.com/article/aria-controls-is-poop/ Currently the sidebar filtering forms e.g. on the proposals page do not meet the WCAG criteria on this.

    [Accessibility] Get rid of ALLCAPS headings and buttons in the default Decidim s...
    ALLCAPS headings/buttons are bad for accessibility: - They make the text less readable - They are problematic for dyslexic people - Some screen readers read them letter by letter, even if the capitalization has been made using CSS This kind of styling is not particularly forbidden by the WCAG 2.1 guidelines but makes the system less accessible e.g. for the mentioned reasons, so it should not be encouraged by Decidim's default styling. Further reading: https://github.com/humanmade/hm-pattern-library/issues/75 https://accessibility.huit.harvard.edu/design-readability Also, why are ALLCAPS forbidden in the proposal titles by the etiquette validator if they are enforced in Decidim's own headings? ;)

    [WCAG 2.1 / AA: 3.2.3, 3.2.4] Accessibility violations on button and link stylin...
    One important Decidim’s accessibility criteria violation concerns the navigational and functional link and button styling. In the attached screenshot I've gathered visually similar buttons into their own groups found on Metadecidim. The main problem is that we have at least 11 groups of different styles of buttons for a single application. According the the accessability experts, we should have the following styles for buttons: - Primary (e.g. Group A) - Secondary (e.g. Group G) Makes the UI clearer and more understandable as the user gets accustomed to the two simple styles of buttons. Other one can be one can be functional, e.g. publish a proposal (primary) and the other navigational switching from one view to another (secondary). Regarding the links, the accessibility experts suggest that: - All links should have the same styling - Links should not appear in grey color unless they are disabled

    Import proposals from spreadsheet
    It is very common that municipalities still collect ideas on paper, as unfortunate as it is in a digital era. Not everyone has the necessary digital skills to use Decidim and some people are concerned about entering their personal details to any digital system. Therefore, admin users want to bulk import paper collected ideas to Decidim. The import document should contain the following columns: - Proposal title - Proposal body - Proposal category ID - Proposal scope ID The import should work per component and the proposals should be imported to that component. Similarly to the participatory texts, the admin user should be shown a preview of the proposals to be imported before actually importing them. The admin user should be able to also define under which user these proposals are imported to similarly as it is possible to select for normal proposals (his/her personal name or a group he/she belongs to). This feature should be an admin feature available under the proposals admin panel.

    Import proposal answers
    We are occasionally asked to import a list of answers to the proposals from an excel file. I believe it would be beneficial if this feature was available directly from the UI. There would be the following columns to import for each proposal: - state (accepted/rejected/evaluating) - answer text (in each language, the default language being required)
