Default Labels

[nathanrice]

We need a common list of default labels all our repositories will use for project management.

Let's use this issue to discuss what labels are right for us.

For reference, these are the labels we currently have in SP repos (pulled from the command line using jq):

Atomic Blocks

curl https://api.github.com/repos/studiopress/atomic-blocks/labels | jq -r ".[] | .name" | sed 's/.*/- &/'

• bug
• chore
• coding standards
• dependencies
• duplicate
• enhancement
• good first issue
• has pr
• help wanted
• invalid
• question
• wontfix

Genesis

curl https://api.github.com/repos/studiopress/genesis/labels -u username:access-token https://api.github.com/username | jq -r ".[] | .name" | sed 's/.*/- &/' (with both instances of username replaced by your GitHub username and access-token generated from your personal access tokens page).

Genesis Sample

curl https://api.github.com/repos/studiopress/atomic-blocks/labels | jq -r ".[] | .name" | sed 's/.*/- &/'

• Gutenberg
• beta
• bug
• confirmed
• dependencies
• duplicate
• enhancement
• further info needed
• good first issue
• has-pr
• help wanted
• invalid
• needs Genesis change
• needs dev
• needs discussion
• needs docs
• needs investigation
• needs review
• needs styling
• needs testing
• question
• task
• third party
• wontfix

It looks like we could add this label to the Genesis repo, and then those might work for all repos:

• Status: Needs Third Party (issue is awaiting upstream changes)

We could also drop the Focus labels from Genesis as they are repo-specific and don't cover all possible focus areas anyway.

We may also want to look at any standards from other WPE engineering teams.

A “Good First Issue” label might be a nice addition for the Genesis labels.

I wanted to tag this issue with that label today but we don't seem to have anything similar.
