NOTE: Please mind that this repository is not yet finally set up. It's still work in progress. Thank you for your patience while we are setting it up, and describing the workflow.
When things are finally set up, this repository will be announced on Codewars blog and documented.
This repository is used to track issues related to Codewars content: kata, translations, solutions and kumite.
It can be used to report and track following types of issues:
- Issues which can be addressed only by admins. However, since
administrators are often busy with maintenance of the platform, these
are expected to be processed slowly and probably wait until appropriate
tools will be provided to moderators.
- Putting a kata back to beta
- Retiring an approved kata
- Deleting an approved translation
- ...
- Issues which can be handled by moderators. Currently, moderators have
limited capabilities of fixing kata, but have large set of functions
available for handling submitted solutions. Moderators can:
- Move a beta kata to draft,
- Flag solutions as cheats,
- Revalidate solutions which do not pass tests anymore but did not get invalidated automatically,
- Hide solutions which are valid, but can be cosidered spoilers and should not be visible. For example solutions of a 7 kyu kata which can be used to solve a challenge version kata on the same problem.
- Issues which can be handled by other users. Such issues can usually be reported
with an appropriately labeled post in kata discussion, but they are difficult
to track and search for, so after the issue gets reported there, it can be
also duplicated here on this board. Good candidates for such issue are:
- Kata with locked tests which can be fixed only by power users,
- Kata which stopped working after the update of code runner (equivalent of "List of kata to update" from current wiki),
- Translations in not widely known languages, which require attention of users with specific skills,
- Kata which need to be fixed by entering the kata editor, but reporter does not have sufficient privileges or does not want to forfeit,
- Bad descriptions: fix markdown, or review of grammar and wording by users with sufficient language skills,
- ...
Users who enjoy maintenance activities and willing to improve quality of kata are encouraged to view issues on this board and pick them for processing one by one.
TBD: describe labels and templates after they get set up
Github discussions can be used when users want to discuss some issue and are not sure which way of fixing it would be the best. For example, discussions can be used to discuss ranking of a kata to be approved when votes are not conclusive, determine whether kata are duplicate and preferred way of de-duplicating them, or agree on preferred way of fixing some kata.
Project board can be used to track progress of particular issues.
