Staff Announcement

Hey team! 👋 Just wanted to share a few quick updates:

📋 Policy Disclaimers Added

We've added disclaimers to policies that are still being implemented. You'll see these as tip callouts in various policy documents (like SLA, Privacy, Content Moderation, and others) indicating that certain sections are still a work in progress. This helps set clear expectations while we continue building out the necessary infrastructure.

🏷️ New Points and Time Labels

We've introduced new labeling systems to help with capacity planning and workload management:

Points Labels (complexity/effort):

• points: 1 - Very simple tasks
• points: 2 - Simple tasks
• points: 3 - Moderate complexity
• points: 5 - Complex issues
• points: 8 - Very complex
• points: 13 - Extremely complex/epic-level

Time Labels (expected duration):

• time: <1 day - Quick fixes
• time: 1 day - One day of work
• time: 2-3 days - Multi-day tasks
• time: 4-5 days - About a week
• time: 1-2 weeks - Major features
• time: >2 weeks - Epic-level work

Check out the full details in our Labels documentation!

📊 New Project Board for Available Tickets

We now have a dedicated Staff Tickets project board where you can find all properly triaged tickets that are ready to be worked on!

🔗 Project Board: https://git.nhcarrigan.com/nhcarrigan/-/projects/2

All tickets with the status: ready for dev label are automatically available on this board, making it much easier to find work that's ready to go.
