Comms - Data Warehouse launch #209

Closed joethreepwood closed 4 months ago

It's the start of a plan for the launch of the data warehouse.

Random thing, but while PRs are great for discussing plans, they're horrible for tracking progress.

Once we're happy with "the plan" could we turn this into an issue?

Short answer: Probably no.

I see the point and I somewhat agree, but doing these as RFCs is best practice and in the past when I've done these as issues I've had repeated requests to do them as PRs instead. And I really don't want to set a precedent of turning PRs into issues when they're done because:

  1. Plans are rarely done when you think they are. The Personless plan, for example, has been 'done' many times and is still getting comments and changes. It's also generally why RFCs don't merge until after the fact.
  2. Moving something from a PR to an Issue really doesn't feel like the best use of anyones' time and it feels very doable to track progress within either a PR or an issue.

If we really think these are causing major issues then I'd propose we change up to another approach (sprint meetings? github projects?) but for now I think the ability to discuss comments in-line is the most useful part of this process.
