[kimadeline]

  • Double-check with @DonJayamanne if he wants to review any of these issues
  • Have a conversation with @luabud and @brettcannon on what to do with these issues (close, prioritize) and then delete the label 🚮

• Deal with cause-* labels [@karthiknadig]
  • Rename cause-VSCode to partner ask
  • Delete other cause-* labels

  • upstream-language server: review, prioritize, close or transfer then delete the label
  • upstream-vscode: delete the label 🏃‍♀️
• Review needs upstream fix label (prioritize, close, transfer) and delete the label
• feature-:
  • feature-intellisense:
    • Expand its description to include autocompletion, code documentation and code navigation
    • Reassignfeature-code documentation and feature-code navigation issues to feature-intellisense and then delete these labels

Not label-related, but still housekeeping:

Ongoing

• Delete stale/merged branches
• Close GitHub issues that are marked as complete
• Clean up P1s for what is not a real P1 anymore

One-time actions

• Do a formatting pass on the issue references in the codebase to leverage GitHub issues integration in VS Code: Update gh- issues to github links #12279

Suggestion: Go through area-intellisense issues and update/close the ones that are not relevant anymore (for example: #10079)?

@kimadeline I think the "close the ones that are not relevant anymore" could apply to all our issues. 😆

I would actually wait until we get Jedi behind LSP before going through the area-intellisense label.

If the team is up for it we could use the housekeeping time slot to comb through old issues and close the ones that aren't relevant anymore (if any). The secondary suggestion of starting with area-intellisense was because I stumbled upon #10079.

Is this still relevant?

Luciana and I still need to clean up needs decision, but otherwise no.
