# Collaboration Tools Discussion

[TOC]

# Backlog and Roadmap

## Goals
1. Make our prioritization and progress easily visible to the community.
2. Allow collaboration with the community.
3. Do not create more overhead.

## Constraints

- Our repos are in the [`vmware-tanzu` Github org](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/)

## Concerns

- We write (tiny) stories that are shapped differently than what people typically see as Issues in Github.
- This might be confusing
- It's a bad look when there are 100+ issues

## Options

- Pivotal Tracker
- Github Projects
- Zenhub (TL;DR. GitHub Projects + Tracker-ish features)
- Velocity
- Epics
- Zube

## Proposals

### Zenhub Façade

- Continue to use Tracker as we have.
- Use Zenhub as a public/community view.
- For each _epic_ in Tracker, create 1:1 an epic in Zenhub.
- When progress is made, we figure out how to efficiently reflect that progress in the Zenhub epic.

### GitHub Org-wide Project

- Create "backlog" repo in GitHub
- move items from Track to this repo
- Create a org-scoped Github project
- link all Carvel repos
