[jakartaee-platform-dev] Tracking progress of Jakarta EE 9
This is more of a release management question (vs a technical question), so if you are not interested in planning, you can skip this message...

The github project boardwe have in place is working nice, but I'm hitting a couple of gotchas...
  • The notecards I am using in the RC column are not very usable or flexible.  I can't add tags, labels, relationships, assignments, etc.
  • For example, if Ifilter on "wave:1", I can see all of the Issues assigned to Wave:1, except I can't see whether we have any RCs available for Wave:1 yet.  Unless I open each individual Issue and review it's checklist.
  • I was thinking of converting these Notecards in the RC column to Issues.  I could add the necessary tags/labels to these Issues and the project board would be more useful.  But, these Issues would only be used for tracking purposes, so it seems silly to clutter up "real code" repositories.
  • So, I was thinking of creating a new repo called jakartaee-release, or jakartaee-mgmt, or jakartaee-project (I'm not picky).  I used the jakartaee- prefix since the Platform project was responsible for developing the Release Plan and we already own the jakartaee-platform, jakartaee-api, and jakartaee-schemas repos.  I just didn't want to clutter up the jakartaee-platform repo with these release mgmt Issues.  I also want to use a repo that we have write access to so that it's easier to maintain.
  • You'll notice that the PR column for the Specifications and Apidocs can already utilize these tags/labels since we have write access to that repo.  So, a query for "wave:0"shows all of the Issues and the PRs associated with "wave:0".
Maybe I'm over-complicating things here...  I'm open to other suggestions.  Thanks!
