Contributors Guide¶
Task management¶
All tasks in the bio.tools orbit are managed in sifterapp (high-level tasks, moderated by Jon) or JIRA (low-level software tasks, moderated by Emil). If you’d like a sifterapp or JIRA account, please mail Jon Ison or Emil Rydza.
Note
sifterapp is the primary means for technical coordination: collaborators are encouraged to browse tasks, review priorities, make comments and add new tasks. Bear in mind sifterapp is for high level tasks not fine-grained details!
