Thank you Sarah for covering this proposal.

Many have very validly mentioned concerns especially since the Community team is not a team that actively works on Code and Github by reputation is seen as a place for developers and coders.

To make clear what the proposed experiment is suggesting is this:
– We are currently utilising Trello Kanban boards for planning and projects.
– These Trello boards are under-utilised, and you find them only through actively looking for them and they are usually out of date.

Therefore:
– WordPress has contributor teams already using the Github Projects features much the same as Trello has it, with great success and utilisation.
– Moving to this more standard approach would keep our kanbans on Github up-to-date, more effectively used, and visible across teams that may allow for cross-team engagement like we never had before.

The Experiment:
– Attempt to utilise this project standard through Github for Q1 of 2023, should we not see any benefit from it in this time, we revert or look for alternatives.
– This experiment could only make things better and stay, or not do anything, and revert.

I hope the intent to help us work better as a community is evident, thats my only goal starting 2023.

Best, Leo Gopal
