We can start to use labels now for jira tickets, we just need an agreed and documented set of labels. Why? Too many labels and we run the risk of there being too many and they sort of Lose the impact and meaning. So a few well-chosen labels for attention grabbing is needed. Every Jira ticket has a Labels section so this is available now. However, my main point of this mail, is that we can add custom fields to our issues. Some projects have done such a thing, some, like the couchdb project, have implemented a drop down field in their jiras so that anyone at a glance can determine if the ticket is newcomer, contributor, committer, hardcore project guru or Greg Stein level. (OK so I made that last level up, but really, the choice of drop down field name is ours to decide) Pop on over to the couchdb jira and take a look. I am happy to implement this in the OODT Jira if you agree it a good idea.
