What should I do if I have a question about an issue I'm working on, and I haven't gotten a response yet?

• First, you should post the question or blocker as a comment on your assigned issue, so it can be easily referred to in the next bullet points
• Then, add the issue to the "Questions / In Review" column of the Project Board so that it can be addressed in the next development meeting
• You may also add the label "Status: Help Wanted" so other developers can see it and potentially help answer your question
• Lastly, you can post your question in the hfla slack channel and link the issue you're working on, so other volunteers can see and respond

Hi @blulady.

Please don't forget to add the proper labels to this issue. Currently, the labels for the following are missing:
Role

To add a label, take a look at Github's documentation here.

Also, don't forget to remove the "missing labels" afterwards.
To remove a label, the process is similar to adding a label, but you select a currently added label to remove it.

After the proper labels are added, the merge team will review the issue and add a "Ready for Milestone" label once it is ready for prioritization.

@blulady Hi Sarah, good progress on this issue. Please move this issue from new issue approval column to the in progress (actively working) column. Thank you.

During the team meeting, we have decided that PM/Leadership team will move the Pre-work checklist issues from New Issue Approval column to In progress column. So, @blulady you can ignore my previous comment. Thanks.

@blulady

Please add update using the below template (even if you have a pull request). Afterwards, remove the 'To Update !' label and add the 'Status: Updated' label.

1. Progress: "What is the current status of your project? What have you completed and what is left to do?"
2. Blockers: "Difficulties or errors encountered."
3. Availability: "How much time will you have this week to work on this issue?"
4. ETA: "When do you expect this issue to be completed?"
5. Pictures: "Add any pictures of the visual changes made to the site so far."

If you need help, be sure to either: 1) place your issue in the developer meeting discussion column and ask for help at your next meeting, 2) put a "Status: Help Wanted" label on your issue and pull request, or 3) put up a request for assistance on the #hfla-site channel.

@blulady Did you have questions about anything on this checklist? Let me know. Thanks.

[blulady]

Hey Jessica,
Thanks for reaching out. I do have questions.
1.The template is to go under the 'Provide Update' section of the checklist?
2. I didn't see the "To Update!" label but I did add "Status: Updated" to the labels on this issue. Did I understand the directions correctly?

[JessicaLucindaCheng]

@blulady If you are referring to this GitHub Action comment: #2683 (comment)

1. Please copy and paste the template in a new comment below and fill our your progress so far in terms of what items you still have left to do.
2. Usually you will see a "To Update!" label at the same time you get a GitHub Action comment asking for a progress update. So, after providing a weekly progress report/update, then you would remove the "To Update!" label and add the "Status: Updated" label.

[JessicaLucindaCheng]

@blulady In the checklist, I unchecked two boxes: the initial availability and ETA, and the weekly progress report. This pre-work checklist should stay open until those are provided on an issue you assign yourself.

When you assign yourself to an issue, your initial availability for the week and ETA should be put on the issue in a new comment.

If you are working on an issue and it takes you longer than 5 days, you should provide a weekly progress report (which includes the fields Progress, Blockers, Availability, ETA, and Pictures). This weekly progress report should be provided once a week while you are working on the issue.

Progress: "What is the current status of your project? What have you completed and what is left to do?" I am uncertain what remains to be done.
Blockers: "Difficulties or errors encountered." Still becoming familiar with interface and sop.
Availability: "How much time will you have this week to work on this issue?" I have a few days to work on this
ETA: "When do you expect this issue to be completed?" Uncertain as to what issue remains to be done.
Pictures: "Add any pictures of the visual changes made to the site so far." Uncertain as to which issue would require pictures.

How much time did it take you to finish the pre-work up to and including adding your initial ETA and availability for your good first issue?
it looks like it took 1 month
but I guess it took 12 hours
