Triage Knowledge docs backlog

I reviewed issues that are not typebug, not typefeature, not development guidelines that have not been triaged:

Current docs-only backlog for Plan

Results:

Plan IA changes for new work item types

  • Short description: Create IA foundations to start using "work items" to refer to them in the docs - not because of what's underneath, but because they're items to plan work. This will be helpful in docs and UI text when instead of "issue boards" and epic boards" we have configurable boards where you decide which work item types you put there.
  • Reasoning: As we're introducing more work item types (OKRs, tasks, epics, soon issues), the amount of repeated content in the docs site grows.
  • Status: ✅ : Complete

Results:

Legend:

  • ⏳ : Waiting for <...>. technical writer, or PM input, or Engineering input
  • 🚧 : In progress
  • ✅ : Complete
  • 🏋🏽 : Stretch goal (add next to any item that is aspirational this quarter)
