Allô I d like to call for action on reorganizing labels

Question

Allô I d like to call for action on reorganizing labels <https github com kotest kotest labels sort=count asc> As you can see we have 27 Some are duplicates some are not used in a long time some are used just sometimes some are overused etc etc What do you think I m suggesting this because I often go around triaging just labelling all issues and would sometimes like different labels

LeoColman · Answer

I d like to cut them back at least in half

Emil Kantis · Answer

i like having the ones for affected platforms also the affected slice of kotest assertions framework prop testing

Emil Kantis · Answer

but sounds like it could be neat to tidy up a bit slightly smiling face

LeoColman · Answer

I like the slice as well I think that we are over slicing MPP tho We have `mpp` `java` `javascript` `native` We could bundle all of them in a multiplatform flag

LeoColman · Answer

And I also think some slices are missing but can t name an example now

Oliver.O · Answer

Having a small set of combinable labels seems ideal to me Like having a small API surface with composability Leo since you brought this up and bring so much triaging experience to the table could you just come up with a suggestion

LeoColman · Answer

I think we would probably need more for the slices < Emil Kantis> but I ve left it open for our discussion on how much deeper we want to go
