Project management in funkLang

[davidjb99]

We use ZenHub for porject management

1. Boards in ZenHub

• New issues
• Icebox, stuff we care about but don't plan to do anytime soon
• Needs clarification, stuff we think should be addressed but need more information about
• Backlog, stuff we plan to do soonish
• This Sprint, stuff we plan to do within the next sprint
• In Progress, stuff we are doing now
• In Review, stuff that is under review

TODO

• Figure out how zenhub works with open source repos, it's meant to be free, do we have to add people? Can they see the project board? Switch to something else if needed.

2. Tag system

Add tags that are the most relevant to an issue.

The tags are divided into two distinct types

Feature tags (e.g. 'Model', 'API', 'Editor')
Need tags (e.g. 'Needs Technical Input', 'Unclear', 'Needs Design', ' Discussion' 'Old'
In general, an issue should have at least one Feature tag (as it most likely is connected to a feature). In an ideal world, it should not have any Needs tags as these mean the issue is lacking something which is needed to start it. When an issue has no Needs tags it is ready to be started.

Filtering tags is more dynamic than filtering by pipelines and enables an issue to be prioritized in the backlog with Need tags that can be addressed before the issue is completed.
