Hi Andrew, This is a good idea and I use it in my personal projects and highly recommend it.
I woudl also like to propose another change at the phab level and to onboard more devs. Libreoffice does things in an interest manner. They classify the issues according to varying difficulty and then a new dev can choose an issue according to their skill level and it helps them get familiar with the code base. I think this is something we need to implement as it would really help to get new devs familiar with the code base, me included there. --- Regards, Jonathan Aquilina On 2017-07-22 23:22, Andrew Williams wrote: > Hi eflers :) > > So after thinking about issue management and planning milestones I thought > more about our source control.
