Rules

  • Check for duplicate issues first.
    • If there is a duplicate issue, add a comment to that.
  • Don't assign me issues, I will take care of assigning it to the right people.
  • Apply labels:
    • Critical Importance
      • Unable to use.
    • Medium Importance
      • Difficult to use. Looks really bad and doesn't look like the rest of the design.
    • Low Importance
      • Worth fixing, but not going to block a user from using the product.
    • etc. don't be afraid to add new labels, but look at which ones already make sense.
