Update triage guide to match the new label scheme
Element Web issue labels have been changed to match a new scheme that has been piloted by the [Synapse team](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9460). The new triage guidance here is largely borrowed from the Synapse guide, but with some Element-specifics to reflect how we use priority, add code areas, etc.

Triaging issues
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
Issues will be triaged by the core team using the below set of tags.
|
||||
We strive to completely cover all applicable issues with these core labels:
|
||||
|
||||
Tags are meant to be used in combination - e.g.:
|
||||
* P1 critical bug == really urgent stuff that should be next in the bugfixing todo list
|
||||
* "release blocker" == stuff which is blocking us from cutting the next release.
|
||||
* P1 feature type:voip == what VoIP features should we be working on next?
|
||||
1. __Type__ — Every issue is assigned a type:
|
||||
- __[T-Defect](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/labels/T-Defect):__
|
||||
Bugs, crashes, hangs, vulnerabilities, or other reported problems
|
||||
- __[T-Enhancement](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/labels/T-Enhancement):__
|
||||
New features, changes in functionality, performance boosts, user-facing
|
||||
improvements
|
||||
- __[T-Task](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/labels/T-Task):__
|
||||
Refactoring, enabling or disabling functionality, other engineering tasks
|
||||
- __[T-Other](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/labels/T-Other):__
|
||||
Questions, user support, anything else
|
||||
|
||||
priority: **compulsory**
|
||||
2. __Severity__ — All issues labeled `T-Defect` are also assigned a severity:
|
||||
* __[S-Critical](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/labels/S-Critical):__
|
||||
Prevents work, causes data loss, affects many users, and/or has no
|
||||
workaround
|
||||
* __[S-Major](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/labels/S-Major):__
|
||||
Severely degrades major functionality or product features, with no
|
||||
satisfactory workaround
|
||||
* __[S-Minor](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/labels/S-Minor):__
|
||||
Impairs non-critical functionality, or suitable workarounds exist
|
||||
* __[S-Tolerable](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/labels/S-Tolerable):__
|
||||
Purely cosmetic or low / no impact to users
|
||||
|
||||
* P1: top priority - i.e. pool of stuff which we should be working on next
|
||||
* P2: still need to fix, but lower than P1
|
||||
* P3: non-urgent
|
||||
* P4: interesting idea - bluesky some day
|
||||
* P5: recorded for posterity/to avoid duplicates. No intention to resolves right now.
|
||||
3. __Priority__ — All issues which are not `T-Other` are assigned a priority:
|
||||
* __[P1](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/labels/P1):__ Next
|
||||
* __[P2](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/labels/P2):__ Later
|
||||
* __[P3](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/labels/P3):__ Eventually
|
||||
* __[P4](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/labels/P4):__ Interesting —
|
||||
Not yet scheduled, will accept patches
|
||||
* __[P5](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/labels/P5):__ Dubious —
|
||||
Will not schedule, would consider patches
|
||||
|
||||
bug or feature: **compulsory**
|
||||
4. __Area__ — Most issues are assigned one or several code "areas" using one of
|
||||
the many `A-` prefixed labels, e.g. `A-Composer` or `A-Spaces`. Each area
|
||||
label maps to a group of features or portion of the UI surface in the app.
|
||||
|
||||
* bug
|
||||
* feature
|
||||
### Other common labels
|
||||
|
||||
bug severity: **compulsory, if bug**
|
||||
We have a handful of other labels which are added on an as-needed basis, and not expected to be exhaustive:
|
||||
|
||||
* critical - whole app doesn't work
|
||||
* major - entire feature doesn't work
|
||||
* minor - partially broken feature (but still usable)
|
||||
* cosmetic - feature works functionally but UI/UX is broken
|
||||
* __Exceptions__ — Special flags for issues and pull requests:
|
||||
* __[X-Needs-Info](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/labels/X-Needs-Info):__
|
||||
This issue is blocked pending further information from the reporter
|
||||
* __[X-Regression](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/labels/X-Regression):__
|
||||
Denotes things breaking which previously worked
|
||||
* __[X-Release-Blocker](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/labels/X-Release-Blocker):__
|
||||
Issues which must be resolved before making a release
|
||||
|
||||
types
|
||||
* type:* - refers to a particular part of the app; used to filter bugs
|
||||
on a given topic - e.g. VOIP, signup, timeline, etc.
|
||||
* __[Easy](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/labels/Easy)__ / __[Help
|
||||
Wanted](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/labels/Help%20Wanted)__ —
|
||||
Well-defined issues which are suitable for folks new to the codebase
|
||||
|
||||
additional categories (self-explanatory):
|
||||
* __[Privacy](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/labels/Privacy)__ /
|
||||
__[Security](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/labels/Security)__ —
|
||||
Issues which may present privacy / security concerns
|
||||
|
||||
* release blocker
|
||||
* ui/ux (think of this as cosmetic)
|
||||
* network (specific to network conditions)
|
||||
* platform specific
|
||||
* accessibility
|
||||
* maintenance
|
||||
* performance
|
||||
* i18n
|
||||
* blocked - whether this issue currently can't be progressed due to outside factors
|
||||
* __[Sponsored](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/labels/Sponsored)__ —
|
||||
Used internally by Element to denote issues with external funding
|
||||
|
||||
community engagement
|
||||
* easy
|
||||
* hacktoberfest
|
||||
* bounty? - proposal to be included in a bounty programme
|
||||
* bounty - included in Status Open Bounty
|
||||
### Ad hoc labels (`Z-`)
|
||||
|
||||
We have reserved the `Z-` prefix for ad hoc labels.
|
||||
|
||||
Any member of the core team is welcome to create labels beginning with `Z-` for
|
||||
any purpose, such as tracking personal areas of interest or providing a common
|
||||
way to label cross-repo initiatives. The prefix avoids interference with the
|
||||
project's main labels.
