So, for instance, for the "priority" category, we have "required" and "optional", but one can add more states if needed (e.g. "TBD", "very low", etc.). To get the equivalent of a "milestone view", one can filter on Label. I am fine with going back to milestones if there is an advantage, but I didn't find it... I am curious what they are good for (perhaps to get that warm feeling of reading "we are at 90% completion!" ;-), which is basically an arbitrary number given how they work...).

I'll see if I can do something with the labels to make them stick out more so I don't miss them!

In case you wonder: the `-` and `•` symbols were chosen as the "category": Priority and Kind. I picked them as a single symbol to have something short and elegant (and also make force GitHub sort all labels by category :-P), similar to what rust-lang/rust does with the letters (I-, P-, C-, etc.) Hopefully GitHub will implement label categories...

And in case someone wonders: not all symbols seem to force an ordering on the labels, so I had to try several pairs until I found one that worked and looked not too bad :-) Cheers, Miguel ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
