Doing now vs in progress #43

Closed joshsmith closed 9 years ago

joshsmith commented 9 years ago

I'm not sure what the utility of doing now is: do I really care what someone is working on right this moment? I don't know.

That said, I think what we were attempting to convey with doing now before was simply that a PR was in progress.

I have to imagine that an awaiting review on an in progress PR is going to be much clearer than not.

I feel that in progress is implied. Any PR in the list could be considered in progress? If there is no real meaning to not in progress then I don't see the need of doing now or in progress. I think our best bet is to leave out the label and if we feel pain from not having it, we add it in.

Thoughts?

We could make use of a label that indicates, "out of all of my tasks, this is the one I'm currently working on", and "doing now" could be that label, if we decide to use it that way. I'm not sure we need something like that, though.

The way I see it, if doing now is information that someone else can't act or make a decision on, then it might not be worth the overhead.

This is all fair enough.
