• We currently have many issues open. It would be most effective to divide them into smaller categories and work through them one by one.
  • We can start with a label that is suitable for everyone to review. We suggest this simple workflow:
    • Going through issues one by one
    • Identifying outdated or irrelevant issues
    • Suggesting fixes or next steps
    • Adding comments where needed (before closing or updating)
  • We labelled some of the issues as Good First Issues – if you want to start contributing, this is your starting point. Just go and find issues labelled as Good First Issue, particularly those that have Feedback in the issue title – help us verify them, and you will earn the Training Team Contributor badge in no time. Just follow this handbook article.
  • For the upcoming sessions, we should divide the open issues into smaller groups and work through one category The 'category' taxonomy lets you group posts / content together that share a common bond. Categories are pre-defined and broad ranging. at a time. This should make the process more organised and easier for everyone to participate in.
    • We could begin with: [Content] Needs Translation Reviewer – – Based on feedback from our last meeting, @rfluethi suggested starting with issues in the Bug category, as these are both the highest priority and likely the easiest to address. Please review the open tickets and share any feedback or suggestions you may have.
    • However, we would appreciate your suggestions on which category would be the easiest and most useful for everyone to start with. Other available categories include:
      • Issues without a label
      • Awaiting Triage
      • [Content] Feedback
      • [Type] Bug
    • Please share which category you think we should review first. Once selected, we can divide the issues and work through them together, one by one.
