🏷️💽 distribute labels into packs geared to tackling missions/themes

[DerekNonGeneric]

Refs: https://github.blog/2018-02-22-label-improvements-emoji-descriptions-and-more/

we have spiffy labels in some repos now, but they are not evenly distributed; we should prioritize keeping them nice and safe here w/ directions on how to apply them everywhere else:

• https://gist.github.com/DerekNonGeneric/2ad0a083150e1ecce1314bca8fed1ed0
• https://github.com/rollup/plugins/blob/master/.github/labels.json

🤔 this command does not export the complete set of labels:

i see a few good automations here:

[DerekNonGeneric]

right, they should split up into packs, like the blogpost says:

Sane Labelling Scheme

We’re going to introduce three different types of labels to this particular repo. Those three types are status labels, type labels and priority labels.

status:

type:

priority:

well, it has been determined (over the last several years) that CLAs are no bueno:

• https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/contributor-agreements-considered-harmful

so, i have just removed those labels

---

looking at what else sticks out / or is missing

wow, 2019 was a very different World!

here is the thing tho: we have TC39, WHATWG, etc. members that speak those languages even if they may be displaced at the moment, so altho i do not speak or understand many of those languages, having the translation available to them is not a problem to me at all

[DerekNonGeneric]

okay, i think we should remove all the multilingual labels for now, since this has not really become too much of concern yet (at least)

---

one can see the most up-to-date collection of labels here (wip):

• https://github.com/OpenINF/openinf.github.io/labels

---

something that is currently kinda in disarray is the color-coding (or lack thereof) of our labels (no method to our madness), but perhaps there should be:

Use color-coded labels to categorize issues by priority, status, or type

When you have a lot of issues to triage, it can be helpful to see at a glance which ones are the most important. By using color-coded labels, you can quickly scan through a list of issues and identify which ones need your attention first.

You can also use color-coding to indicate the status of an issue. For example, you could use a green label for “ready to be worked on” and a red label for “needs more information.” This is a great way to keep track of the progress of an issue and make sure that nothing falls through the cracks.
