Github Management

[MatthewBozin]

As the project grows and takes on new contributors, it would be very useful to overhaul the devops side of the github repo/project. This will improve clarity for new contributors, especially newer devs. It could also reduce the amount of onboarding the project leads would have to do.

Here are some proposed features:

• Remove tasks from the readme and make the project kanban board the single source of truth for tasks
• Add issue/pull request templates that include contribution guidelines and self-check reminders. Example PR template
• Creating new issue labels to denote frontend/backend/design/devops issues
• Allow contributors to create issues, which would be appear in a "needs approval" column of the project board. Project leads could view and approve the issues (or request changes), adding them to a "approved" column of the board. Contributors can then assign themselves to issues in the "approved" column

Let me know what you think!

Number 1: Agreed, and that's already in progress on my behalf.
Number 2: I've taken a look at templates, and agree as well, but I need to delve a little further.
Number 3: Love it, will implement.
Number 4: Can't contributors already create issues?

[MatthewBozin]

Re: number 4, ah that's true we can. Could implement an approval process though so it's clear to contributors which issues they can start working on

[Caleb-Cohen]

I've implemented all four. Can you see if you can create an issue and assign it to projects?

[MatthewBozin]

It doesn't look like I can assign myself to an issue, label it, or assign it to projects

I don't think this is accomplishable without making you a collaborator. Is that correct?

Not sure if you was looking for better ways to police the repo , but the first link was some options I figured you might have missed.
