Document Status
- 2024-01-12: This page needs to be updated to account for the fact that it’s no longer just for Kubo/Boxo, but all of IPFS Shipyard’s work. There are a set of updates that @Steve (biglep) scribbled down at the end that should be incorporated here.
- 2022-03-22: This approved by the team and accurate at least as of this date. It’s intended to stay up-to-date.
- 2022-03-09: Initial version. Still needs team and outside input.
Purpose of this board
The combination of:
- the “ipfs” organization being around for years and accumulating many issues and PRs
- extended periods of insufficient grooming
- many parallel work streams
has made it hard for maintainers or contributors to know what all is being worked on at a given time.
As a result, the main purpose of this board is around work visibility:
- Make it possible for the maintainers (e.g., PL EngRes IP Stewards) to track all the work that they driving forward or engaging in.
- Give contributors the ability to see and communicate the status of their work.
- Make it self-service for observers to see what is in flight and what is coming.
