Labels

Managing Labels on Issues

Classify open issues with three labels, one from each category, to identify its current priority, status, and type.

• Priority: High - Item requires attention first
• Priority: Medium - Item needs attention after all high priority items are complete
• Priority: Low - Item needs attention after all high and medium items are complete

• Status: Available - Issue has not been assigned (No one is working on it)
• Status: In progress - Issue is assigned and actively being solved
• Status: Review - Item needs review or is being reviewed

• Type: Bug - Issue describes a faulty feature
• Type: Feature - Issue describes a new feature
• Type: Question - Issue is a query about a feature

The unified color coding helps to maintain a harmonious appearance in the list of open issues. When a change is made to an issue, consider swapping the labels if appropriate. After an issue is closed, all labels can be removed (label changes are a part of the issue history). Please do not adjust the label colors as this will result in conflicting hues.

Managing Labels on Pull Requests

The "Status: Review" label can be attached to a pull request. If the pull request queue exceeds 5 items, we might begin to use the priority label also. Remove labels from closed pull requests.
