Would Look like this.

Also, note that we'd have to add https://github.com/apps/welcome (added .github/config.yml for the same).

Note that related Documentation is being added in aboutcode-org/aboutcode#33 and so some of the links will have to be changed later. (Added to #1813 )

I really like the way this looks! 🙇‍♂️
Let's gather a bit of community feedback before we merge.

@AyanSinhaMahapatra I like this as well, but I am a little confused as to where/how the various templates show up to the end user. How do these issue templates work exactly?

[pombredanne]

@MaJuRG @AyanSinhaMahapatra posted that list https://github.com/AyanSinhaMahapatra/sphinx-test/issues/new/choose to show how this would look.

@mjherzog FYI
what Ayan is suggesting is using Github built in feature to provide that doc in place in each repo.... We could of course have it in a central lace too (and that central place being the reference and copied to each repo?)
Would you prefer to have a central doc too?

[steven-esser]

@pombredanne I like the idea of having it in each repo. At least the basics for opening a bug report or feature request.

[mjherzog]

My concern is that this type of documentation should apply to all of our projects and is likely not tied to the versioning for any specific project. I think that this means that this should be AboutCode level documentation that is propagated down to each project repo.

[steven-esser]

@mjherzog Sure, I think having contributor docs for our organization in general should be in an aboutcode top level repo. My comment was more in regards to the basic issue template skeleton that can be copied into all our repos (Bug Report, Feature Request, etc).

@pombredanne @mjherzog @MaJuRG By docs here do you mean docs related to these Issue Templates?

[AyanSinhaMahapatra]

Note that related Documentation is being added in aboutcode-org/aboutcode#33 and so some of the links will have to be changed later. (Added to #1813 )

On docs, here I meant documentation mainly on the Good First Issue/First Timers Only guides which I'm adding for review and not other contributor docs in general.

Also, should I initiate basic issue templates for bug-report and feature-request in other main repositories?

[steven-esser]

@AyanSinhaMahapatra I think by docs/ we mean general documentation about how to contribute to our projects and other general OSS development guidelines. @mjherzog I think this is what you mean?

As far as I know, we need to have the Issue Templates in each repo for this GitHub feature to work.
