CodeBuddies Github label improvements
A note from @Bill, who decided to massively improve the issues labeling on https://github.com/codebuddies/codebuddies/issues:
I had a quick pass through the open issues on GitHub. There is definitely more I can do to try and help tidy up some of these issues but this is what things look like after a first pass.
32 features, 10 enhancements, 8 bugs
24 in discussion, 22 on backlog, 2 in progress, 1 in review
14 issues relate to hangouts, 6 to discussion groups, 5 infrastructure, etc.
2 issues claimed, 2 good first issue, 5 high priority
I’d really like some thoughts on how we move issues out of “in discussion” and into either “closed” or “in progress”. I can think of a few things that could help:
Head on over to the GitHub issues page and contribute to the discussion
Express your interest in a bug/enhancement/feature by giving it the thumbs up
Consider taking ownership for a topic (refactoring, documentation, etc.) and hosting a hangout to tease out a set of actions that can be taken
Cool Slack channels you may not know about
