Overview of Proposal
As we try to grow project communities we should try and help people find what to work on. It is common to use labels a la "good first issue" or "help wanted" but those are not used consistently across all projects. The proposal is to define a set of common labels and encourage all projects to adopt that set.
Formal Proposal(s)
Adopt Github's default labels. When spaces is not supported such as JIRA, use a dash - instead.
| Label | Description |
|---|---|
bug | Indicates an unexpected problem or unintended behavior |
documentation | Indicates a need for improvements or additions to documentation |
duplicate | Indicates similar issues or pull requests |
enhancement | Indicates new feature requests |
good first issue | Indicates a good issue for first-time contributors |
help wanted | Indicates that a maintainer wants help on an issue or pull request |
invalid | Indicates that an issue or pull request is no longer relevant |
question | Indicates that an issue or pull request needs more information |
wontfix | Indicates that work won't continue on an issue or pull request |
