Trello Rules & Guideliens

Trello

Public Trello page for Project: Field Warning

We decided to use Trello for project management and organization. It serves as a method for contributors to easily find work while attempting to avoid contributors accidently implementing the same task or unknowingly working on a task. Don't be afraid to add your own tasks! Especially if the topic is not listed or if an obstacle is in your path such as being an artist who made buttons and now needs a coder to make

Types of Cards

The initial thought process behind the Trello board was to center all ideas, thoughts, to-do's, etc. into three types of cards. These three major types are as follows:

1. TASK cards are immediately actionable and small in scope—ideally an afternoon's work.
2. EPIC cards have their own column. They are major (macro) goals or "the big picture" such as completed multiplayer networking. These exists to provide motivation to you (and us.. help) as well as provoke ideas for tasks. They are broken down into subtasks and completed by different contributors over time (or the same, thank you<3).
3. USER STORIES have their own column. They are smaller than epics but bigger than tasks. The format of a user story helps it stay the right size, since it is hard to describe an epic as a brief sequence of actions. They will help us write unit tests.

Guidelines for Creating Cards

• Cards are the fundamental unit of our board. They represent tasks and ideas. They can be simple, like an update to the GitHub Wiki, or something that needs remembering such as an important merge or bug fix.
• Add as much information to the card as possible without going overboard. Include the following information if possible:
  • Descriptions
  • Checklists
  • Attachments
  • Comments
  • Labels
  • Images
• Be sure to not create redundant cards. Do your research to ensure no duplicates are entered. If you're not sure, ask someone on the Discord server.
• Cards should not be suggestions or possibilities—they need to be fact. You've created the card because you are positive that you, or another contributor (whom you've made aware) can complete or understand.
• Enjoy. We're not sticklers and we would love for everyone to contribute.

Beginners should attempt cards labeled green as those have been deemed simple or Good card for newbies.
