Issue Labels

BobaBoard uses labels to classify issues and feature requests according to a variety of criteria.

For ease of reference, labels are further divided in the following macro-categories:

• 🎨 Thematic labels indicate the overall theme of the issue or feature request.
• 🐞 Type labels indicate the overall theme of the issue or feature request.
• 🛠 Skills labels indicate the technical skills necessary to tackle the issue or feature request.
• 🛶 Size labels indicate the amount of work necessary to tackle the issue or feature request.
• 🌤 Difficulty labels indicate the overall difficulty of the issue or feature request.
• 📦 Repository labels indicate the repositories the issue or feature request touches upon.
• ⏩ Stage labels indicate the next step in the issue-tackling process.
• 🌟 Special labels indicate the issue meets certain special criteria.

We also have a set of other labels that do not fit in these categories.
