Project Accessibility / Management Improvements [WIP] #113

Open Noah-Silvera opened 3 years ago

Noah-Silvera commented 3 years ago

New developer experience isn't great

Working with solidus dev support isn't great
- The Dev support docs themselves don't describe a dummy app
- We don't link to or describe the sandbox or dummy app, and how to use them. (Question: the heck are dummy apps supported by)
Setting up env variables sucks (PR in progress #104)
Make a Contributing.md

Projects & Milestones

There's no description, scope, root tickets, etc allowing someone to understand the project
Projects should be related to milestones
Milestones should lay out the scope of work at a high level and link to current projects
Only have one or two projects going at a time, to keep backlog minimal and approachable and avoid interwoven blocking work, which is rough to manage on github

Public Roadmap?

Could be helpful for public knowledge (and getting more companies on board with taxjar).

Project Management

Ticket groomer/writing/ticket scoper - probably has to be a more dedicate role(s), people with lots of context on the wider project (currently this is defacto Nick and Noah)

Our labels are bad

Potential labels?
Good first issue
More information needed

Size of backlog

Try to keep focus to one or two projects at a time (e.g. go HAM on reporting)
Always try to have "good first issues" and "bug fixes" that are fleshed out and grabbable
Ensure tickets are actually linked to eachother, and have context - (less tacit knowledge)

Bug reporting Process

Currently doesn't exist
Issue reporting template

TODO - split some of these out into different tickets
