Merge Category:Subgroups and Category:Projects to Category:Groups & Projects
As part of the recent reorganization, Group::Organization
was merged with Group::Pods
. The term Pods conflicts with Kubernetes Pods and is not descriptive enough of the common goal of the team, which is to find a horizontal scaling solution. Thoughts on the exact reasoning for selecting Cells
as a team name are summarised here and here.
This issues handles merging the categories Category:Subgroups
and Category:Projects
into a single Category:Groups & Projects
. This is intended to help support the consolidation of categories across Enablement as part of the recent move of Group::Organization
to Group::Pods
.
Why is this change needed?
- Projects are not a marketing category and do not have a direction page
- Groups and projects are strongly linked together. It is almost impossible to talk about one without talking about the other.
