## Sprint Goals 🏅 and Project Tracking 🗂️
We have 5 core goals, with detailed sub-tasks, that we are hoping to accomplish during the sprint:
1. Improve Documentation
2. Identify Test Coverage
3. Update datatogether.org Website
4. Create "First Time" Use Issues (_stretch goal_)
5. Establish Technical Documentation Guidelines (_stretch goal_)
In order to track our progress we are using:
- [Project Tracking Board](https://waffle.io/datatogether/roadmap)
- [GitHub Milestone](https://github.com/datatogether/roadmap/milestone/3) and [Issues](https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Adoc-sprint&type=)
## Working Collaboratively 👬👫👭 and Questions 🤔
We have [Contributing Guidelines](https://github.com/datatogether/datatogether/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) and like to work collaboratively through peer coding, reviewing pull requests, and Slack conversations. During the sprint we'll have ambient livestreaming from each location, but these are not intended for heavy one-on-one discussion, start that in-person or in Slack!
You can ping `@datatogether/sprint-leaders` on GitHub in issues or pull requests. Generally it is better to _ping only the person_ who is the point of contact for the topic you have a question about:
- `@b5` (Brendan, Brooklyn) - **testing**, website, technical documentation
- `@jeffliu` (Jeff, Boston) - **custom crawling**, "first time use"
- `@dcwalk` (Dawn, Toronto) - **documentation**, website
- `@mattprice` (Matt, Toronto) - **documentation**, website, "first time use"
The milestone has a lot of stuff in it! You can filter it a bit by tag, e.g.:
- [documentation issues](https://github.com/datatogether/roadmap/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue%20is%3Aopen%20label%3Adocumentation%20milestone%3A%22Oct%2026-27%20Sprint%20%22%20)
- [website issues](https://github.com/datatogether/roadmap/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue%20is%3Aopen%20website%20milestone%3A%22Oct%2026-27%20Sprint%20%22%20)
- [testing issues](https://github.com/datatogether/roadmap/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue%20is%3Aopen%20test%20milestone%3A%22Oct%2026-27%20Sprint%20%22%20)
:clock9: See you tomorrow!
