Creators,

Could you enable the creation of "projects", "tasks", and "wikis"? We have quite a few issues open which are feature requests, and there are a good number of ideas on where to go. It would help organize the work and track it to completion using these features. I would be happy lead this effort if I'm given the authority to do so; organize these tabs and keep them up to date.

As far as I know it isn't possible to allow creating projects without giving write permissions to the repository. I think it would be more useful to ask for a specific project. For example, I was working on a proposal to convert ProjectTemplate to the tidyverse, which could definitely benefit from a project to organise all the different tasks that need to be done for the conversion (and then I closed the wrong tab in my browser :-( ).

[rsangole]

Well, I was thinking even from the point of view of the organization of to-dos, the issues, and their status. For ex, as done in this repo. I'm not sure how to navigate the permission space though, if that's a concern.

When you say convert ProjectTemplate to tidyverse, do you mean convert all the internal functions to those from the tidyverse?

[Hugovdberg]

That's what I was thinking about, but I'll write the proposal from scratch in a new issue.

@KentonWhite @johnmyleswhite When you get some time, could you look into creating a "project" structure we could work in? Something like this or this (or perhaps try enabling it for a few of us?)

@Hugovdberg Sounds good. Let's collaborate and get this done.

[KentonWhite]

@rsangole Will try to look at it this weekend.

[KentonWhite]

Sorry been away. I've created a basic project using the Kanban template. Can add additional cards if you wish. I didn't enable automation. Let me know what tweaks you would like here.

[rsangole]

@KentonWhite Thanks for looking into this & creating the board. Looks like it's restricted for editing for us collaborators. Could you open that up in any way?

[KentonWhite]

At the moment this is a problem. I'm asking if I can transfer project ownership to myself. If that happens I should be able to provide access to the ProjectBoards.

[rsangole]

@KentonWhite OK. If you can do so, I'll be happy to contribute on the boards and help manage some of the new feature implementations.

[KentonWhite]

I've sent collaborator invites. This should give access to the project boards & wikis. Please let me know if it doesn't.
