Replace meta issues with a solution
Description
Meta issues are normal issues that we use to organise ourselves. They are hard to maintain, require manual updating and little organised.
We should replace them with a native solution. This solution should (eventually) have the same benefits:
- collects issues with metadata
- allows for reordering, prioritization
- allows for additional meta-data, in the form of a markdown field, for example
- supports issues cross-projects
- allows for comments
I have some obvious proposal below, I'm not sure what the best solution is.
Proposals
1: Wait for issue boards based on milestones
- PRO: This allows us to see the categories in lists
- MISS: no reordering on short term
- MISS: no conversation possible on the issue board
- MISS: no group level yet
- MISS: no additional meta data to indicate overal priorities, other notes, links
2: Expand milestones
- Mostly the same as above, but without the categorization and with the meta data.
3: New thing: Dynamic issue tables
Dynamic issue tables would allow you to have a table with a subset of issues inside of a markdown field. You'd only enter the issue links and it would make a table of those issues, allowing you to change their metadata and reorder them at will. Maybe even filter and sort.
- PRO: No new abstractions
- PRO: Can use existing issues for everything else
- MISS: No additional benefits, still requires a single meta issue
