HubCap

HubCap provides a web presentation layer on top of GitHub issues, pull-requests and milestones organised by tags and assignment.

There are three main views:

1. Work board - shows all issues in current workflow
2. User board - groups current work by user
3. Release board - shows work grouped by milestone

Using labels and milestones to control layout and markers

The following labels are used to define the workflow steps:

• 0 - backlog
• 1 - ready
• 2 - working
• 3 - review
• 4 - done

The following labels are used to define 'markers':

• blocked
• accepted
• bug
• important

We use 2 main milestones, next and next+1 for the Release Board.

See the Roadmap for future customisability.
