There are some labels available at this repository and a few of then are very clear to me. E.g. when should I use "bug" and "lessons".

jdblischak commented 9 years ago

@r-gaia-cs, I agree that some of these broad labels are difficult to understand how they should be applied. I tend to use more specific labels like the programming language, e.g. "Python", and the set of lesson materials it is in, e.g. "novice". I also appreciate labels that indicate a pull request still needs more work and is not ready for a final review. Unfortunately I'm not sure what the difference between "getting-started" and "work in progress" is. Preferably we would standardize one label to indicate this situation.

The "getting-started" label signals something a newcomer could work on (e.g., for instructor training). "work in progress" is meant to signal something that's not ready for merge yet.

Thanks for the explanation, @gvwilson. That makes sense.

rgaiacs commented 9 years ago

I'm closing this since the pull requests by @jdblischak (#688) and @gvwilson (#693) were merge.
