Accepted words for kinds #

View this page as Markdown

Every issue has one kind, and tzTrack accepts a few other words for some kinds. This page lists the kinds, what each means, and the other words each reads.

The kinds #

Kind Means Accepted other words
bug Something is wrong, in code, data, text, or anything else. problem, error, mistake
gap Something is missing. missing_capability
docs The instructions or help for a product are wrong. documentation_gap
friction It works, but it is hard to use. refusal_not_understood, which also keeps the label refusal_not_understood
question Something needs an answer. none
task Work to do. none
praise Something works well. none
idea A possible new thing to make. It takes no priority, is never marked fixed, and later requests link to it, so its report count is its demand. none

An accepted other word files the kind it reads as, at raise and at an update of the kind alike. A raise with the kind problem, for one, files a bug.

Choosing a kind #

A book or another project with no code is not all docs. What is wrong in a chapter is a bug, and what is missing from it is a gap. docs is for the instructions or help of a product. Something to consider later, with no work owed yet, is an idea.
