labels for browser/AT bug reports #42

Closed jessegreenberg closed 7 years ago

jessegreenberg commented 7 years ago

From meeting on 6/9/17, this repository will collect bug reports to be sent to browsers/AT. For organization, labels would be helpful to see issues related to this.

We already have labels: dev:a11y dev:sonification design:a11y type:bug

scenery repository has labels scenery:to-submit-browser-bug scenery:browser-bug

For third party a11y bugs, what about something like a11y-research:platform-bug

platform-bug term includes both screen reader and browser. And having only one label for all bugs makes searching easier since that label can be searched or clicked on to see the list of all platform bugs.

Thoughts @emily-phet @terracoda @zepumph?

It seems like we have a lot of a11y like labels that are scattered in different label types, could this be a good time to solidify a set of a11y specific labels. Perhaps we don't have much else that needs a label.

I may prefer "a11y:platform-bug", but don't feel too strongly.

Hmm, could you provide an example? It looks like PhET github labels have been categorized into dev:*, meeting:*, design:*, status:*, and so on.

I may prefer "a11y:platform-bug", but don't feel too strongly.

I like a11y:platform-bug.

jessegreenberg commented 7 years ago

Ah, @zepumph maybe you were suggesting we merge dev:a11y and design:a11y? I'd be fine with that.

zepumph commented 7 years ago

After thinking about it. I like it the way it is now. To help process this I thought about phet-io labels. There is dev:phet-io, meeting:phet-io, but also a whole phet-io: category for phet-io specific labels. So far no a11y labels have really warranted their own category, but I'm sure there will be more soon, which is why 'a11y:' is a nice category to add SO MANY LABELS to in the future. Right now just platform-bug, but oh the possibilities are endless.

Ok, thanks @zepumph, that sounds great. Haven't heard from others yet, but I think we can proceed with a11y:platform-bug.

jessegreenberg commented 7 years ago

I created it and will apply to related issues, closing.

terracoda commented 7 years ago

Oops forgot about this issue. I agree that an ally: would be good to have as a category. And I like a11y:platform-bug that combines bugs.

Does this mean labels will be more like this? a11y:dev a11y:sonification a11y:design a11y:platform-bug

zepumph commented 7 years ago

We decided against this approach. There is a11y:platform-bug, but all the other ones are as they were before.

terracoda commented 7 years ago

@zepumph, thanks for the clarification.
