Adopt Github Projects (Beta) to tracking work publicly

[Xuanwo]

Hi, databenders! In this discussion, I will publicly share how to track our work using Github Projects (Beta) publicly.

Why Github Projects (Beta)?

Github Projects (Old) is board-based.

To our community members, the board is read-only. They can't focus on tasks that they are interested.

But in Github Projects (Beta), we can use different views on demand:

List View:

Board View:

And users can filter and group by fields they want which is more interactive.

Tricks of Github Projects (Beta)

Setup project for version or use the same project?

I prefer to use the same project and use version and milestone as a field.

So that we can query them in the same project.

Add issues into GitHub projects

• Via projects

• Via issues/PR

Establish work notes publicly

With the power of Github Projects (Beta), we can establish our work notes more easily:

• Query tasks by assignee and status.

Share the links directly: https://github.com/orgs/datafuselabs/projects/5/views/1?filterQuery=assignee%3AXuanwo+status%3A%22%F0%9F%93%A6+Done%22

Don't save it if you are just querying

• State a new discussion to share our work notes

Future Possiblilty

• Setup Github actions to add issues automatically like A-query, A-storage via https://github.com/actions/add-to-project
  • Take ci: Add issues labeled A-storage into storage project #5486 as reference
• Add links like link.databend.rs/roadmap-storage.
• Progress report: Github is working on the progress report feature like burndown.
