We use GitHub's labels to organize work on docs. Each issue has 3 labels: Status, Type & Priority.
Status labels tell us how work on an issue is progressing:
- Completed: closed & resolved
- Confirmed: ready for development
- In Progress: in development
- Unconfirmed: needs confirmation
- Wontfix: closed & unresolved
Type labels tell us about the kind of issue:
- Bug: technical problem
- Draft: new doc
- Edit: improve copy
- Feature: new functionality
- Maintenance: refactor or reorganize
Priority labels tell us how important an issue is:
- High: this week
- Medium: this month
- Low: this year
To create our labels, we borrowed liberally from this article about sane GitHub labels.
