This plugin makes it possible to show a list of issues from
GitHub
on a WordPress page. It has a flexible filtering system so you can specify
which issues from which projects that should be taken into account.
This plugin can also make data available for other services to use, at this time
Dasheroo is supported.
You can use this plugin on an intranet or extranet, to show the status of a team
or project. For example, you can use it to show KPI:s such as how many issues that
were closed last week, plot a graph over the current number of open issues in the
current sprint (a sprint burndown chart), or show all the issues with a "help-wanted"
label in order to engage with the open source community.
Here are a few examples of things you can do:
Measure the team's velocity
You can create a filter that gives you the issues which were closed during
the last seven days and that has the
resolved
label on them. This gives you a measurement of you teams
weekly velocity, i.e. how many issues the team is currently
able to deal with per week.
List issues in current sprint, and show a burn down chart
In this example you can create a filter that shows the currently open
issues which has the label
current-sprint. You can put this list of issues
on an intranet page and the team will have a nice summary of the issues
in the current sprint. If you export the count of these issues to Dasheroo and
plot a graph for a few days it will give you a nice burndown chart that
hopefully should point to your sprint deadline.
Unassigned open issues
If you create a filter to show all the open and unassigned issues, this
number says something about which issues that no one has yet stepped up
and accepted responsibility for.
Issues ready for test
If you create a filter to show all the open issues with the
resolved
label on them, it will give the quality assurance team a nice overview
of which issues that are resolved and that are ready to be tested.
Engage open source hackers
If you run an open source project, you can create a filter that shows all
the issues with a
help-wanted label. You can put this on a web site, and
this can serve as an important step so that interested developers know
what they can help out with.
Hacking
Some small things to think about if you want to contribute to this plugin:
- Don't update the README.md file. Update the readme.txt file, then build the
README.md file using
make readme. This in turn uses the
wp2md command,
so this needs to be installed on your system.
