Projects¶
Overview¶
Purpose¶
- The Mathesar team’s work is chunked into fixed-length projects to keep it organized.
- The Mathesar maintainers work in 4-week “cycles”, and each project is designed to fit into that timeline. The community team’s project lengths vary. - Projects always have an end date. Work without an end date is tracked under ongoing responsibilities.
- Each project has one and only owner, and various helpers. Helpers are assigned specific responsibilities.
Process¶
- Anyone willing to do the work can propose a project. Please use the project template.
- Projects are discussed and approved by the Mathesar maintainers (either in meetings or via email). - The project manager facilitates these discussions.
- Project prioritization will be based on our product strategy (currently in development).
