“the github reviews murder case special”
- get rid of codeowners. do any of us actually use it, it just confuses people who think the codeowners need to review before its merged
- **Remove all general ones and change to one or two folders deep, so that it actually goes to the relevant PRs
- review labels rn are half-automated which is good but its hard to tell when someone finishes a review. have people re-request a review on github to clear the ‘changes requested’ label and expect ppl to do this
- Make the bot remove the “Awaiting changes” label when PR reviews are requested again
- Just tell more people to press the re-request review button when reviewing.
- Maybe make a copy paste that can be put as the instructions for new contributors
- have maintainers actually assign themselves to review PRs that they’re going to review so we aren’t just passing this along through word of mouth
- ok basically just actually make use of the GH review features instead of having to tell people ‘uhh just ignore that’
- side quest. can we ask github for GH enterprise again since we’re big boys and open source
“a killing at the github issues and labels page “
- get rid of all prio labels except for URGENT they dont rly matter
- We probably wont sort by + or - Low Priority, so
- Yes only URGENT
- maybe consolidate the difficulty labels too but theyre probably fine
- Keep difficulty labels
- Easy should be able to be done by a new contributor with 0-4 PRs within a few hours.
- Beginner friendly should be clearly written out what the requirements and goals are for the PR
- mapping issue labels (one for every map? makes it easier for mappers to sort through)
- Not needed
- some ‘possibly no longer relevant’ label (like tgs ‘flagged cleanup’label), close really old issues with this if we aren’t 100% sure
- some other ideas for issue labels that are actually useful:
- ‘oversight’ (easy to fix random stuff that just wasnt caught)
- ‘regression’ (previously working feature is broken)
- combine cleanup/needs refactor into ‘code maintenance’
- ‘requires resprite’for arttainer issues
- go back through and properly clean up and label old-old issues by god there are 2.2k open and they are definitely not all still relevant. let us start a united front here. give a bunch of people triage and go at it over the course of like a couple weeks. make github issues useful again
- allow user labeling of issues, at least for certain kinds like feature request and oversight. probably thru some gh action that just looks in the issue body or in comments. iirc someone tried this like 2 yrs ago but it didnt work and we never fixed it
- Yes fix the bot
- think about giving out triage access more freely, maybe to all experienced contribs?
- Yes
- And some game admins
- All staff
New art
- ok can we actually commission artists for new lobby art with our five million dollars like we said we would a year ago
- Yes. We need an artist.
- Lobby art ideas:
- One of every Antagonist
- One of every species
- One of every Job/Department
- This is not one artwork per subject, one artwork can have more than one subject.
