Greetings,
I have seen previous discussions by at least Christian Beer and Vitalii Koshura about using GitHub project boards. I'd like to propose the following guidelines for using them: https://github.com/BOINC/boinc-policy/blob/project-boards/Issue_and_Pull_Request_Management.md I've opened the following pull request to have this merged into the BOINC/boinc-policy repository: https://github.com/BOINC/boinc-policy/pull/7 It would be great if we could have the discussion about the proposed guidelines in the "conversation" section of the pull request. The rationale for this change is that there are currently 339 issues that can be seen here: https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues This view of issues makes it hard to see which ones belong to which component of BOINC, which ones are higher priority than others and which ones have been reviewed and are ready to implement vs ones that have been quickly opened and don't have sufficient detail for a developer to implement. If we use project boards, its makes it much easier for contributors to find issues that pertain to a part of the system that they can contribute to and that they know is important and ready to implement vs ones that are less critical or are not ready to implement. The goal for this proposal is for the guidelines to be simple and useful. Please review and suggest ways to make the guidelines simpler and more useful. Since this is a development process document, it requires a consensus vote of the committers as outlined in the governance document ( https://github.com/BOINC/boinc-policy/blob/project-boards/Governance.md#511-consensus-voting ). What this means practically, is that we can discuss this for a week updating the document based on comments and then if no-one objects, a committer other than me can merge my pull request into the master branch of boinc-policy. In the future, if someone wants to change it, they simply submit a pull request that changes the document which then starts another discussion period.
