`priority: medium` usage ?

[lauriejim]

Hi @abdonrd !

I actually have a question about priority: medium label.

priority: low mean we will not work on it soon and maybe never, generally used with status: wont do/fix. priority: hight and priority: critical have sense.

But have we to apply priority: medium to all others issue or just delete this priority to not pollute issue labels ?

Apply label it's good for search, but it's the only usage I see.

I like the idea that all issues have a priority assigned.

When I look the sidebar, at a glance I see how the issue is:

It would be great if GitHub allowed us to assign labels by default. 😕 We could add priority: medium automatically.

Friendly ping to @juan-cb, @ydarias & @jesusprubio.

Do you have other projects which use these labels ? (with type, status and priority)

Hi @lauriejim

We have discussed this kind of labels internally at our team, and the result is a mix of our previous experience (also gained by working with other tracking/ticketing systems) and the review of how others use labels for internal organization (both in big and small open source projects). We are aware that many trendy projects currently don't follow this kind of classification in labels, but those presented in this repo could fit as a basis for common management tasks and organizations. Also the convention-naming for labels depends on your project management setup: if you use milestones, GH projects, etc., you will need to adapt/select the labels' name to meet your workflow.
