[ice-dev] New policy for issue labels and milestones

[Jay Jay Billings <jayjaybillings@xxxxxxxxx>]

Everyone,

I have updated our dev guidelines on the wiki to reflect our resolution to use more detailed labels and milestones with the following:

== Issue Tracking ==

Issues for ICE are tracked at the [https://github.com/eclipse/ice/issues/ ICE GitHub Issues page]. Bugs are assigned as required with appropriate labels and milestones. Issues that were requested by users and people from outside the team should be labeled with "user request."

Milestones are tied to releases or sponsor deliverables and should only be added by ORNL staff members.

Committers may add labels as needed. Labels should clear, easy to understand, and describe the package or component that will be modified ("data structures" or "client.widgets"). The more labels assigned to an issue, the better.

You can see an example of this at
