Babel Team Development Strategy

Prioritizing Strategy

The Babel team's strategy to processing bugs and feature requests is (in order):

  1. Bugs that cause incorrect translations to be saved or prevent people from enter translations
  2. Finishing the version zero issues (deployment, documentation)
  3. Bugs preventing project teams from adding their projects to Babel
  4. Server performance issues
  5. Bugs preventing users from consuming the output of Babel
  6. New features
