Create guidelines for adding new categories

With the help of @leslieg and @chrisfromredfin, I did some quick research on creating some guidelines for us and began writing a Google Doc ready for review. The Google Doc has commenting turned on, so anyone who has time can provide feedback.

Updating to Needs Review as it is currently under review by @leslieg and @chrisfromredfin

Chris and I reviewed and updated thegoogle document on Thursday

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CdC-oqb9db-2hvTjqE4a6iDiJ7m3LmQY9e2u...

apaderno noted on 📌 Create a "Categories" Help page on Drupal.org Active , the Drupal.org content issue queue has a Module categories component: https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/content?text=&status=All&prioritie... →

That would be fine to use. The category updates usually don’t land as code changes, so they don’t need to be in the Drupal.org customizations project. If there is a migration or UI change, that does need to be in the Drupal.org customizations project.

So we can link to the guidelines, I created a stub page at https://www.drupal.org/drupalorg/docs/maintenance/module-categories-updates →

I think the guidelines could use an introduction paragraph before getting into the workflow/policy. What are these categories? How are they used? Why are they important?

Setting this issue back to needs work.

We should check if the version is correct on this issue?

@leslieg thanks for adding me to the google Doc! I think I have what I need now. I agree with @DrummThe google doc seems to be too verbose for posting on D.O. at least without a summary/introduction. I will pick this issue with the following steps:
In the Google Doc: incorporate comments into a near final version
Create a Summary/Introcduction section
Update the Issue Summary with the plan
Request final comments on the google doc
Add the content for the documentation stub page.

I am currently working on the Google doc noted in the Issue Summary.

I've made a quick pass and will pick it up again later today. There are several points I would welcome comments/suggestions on.

@ Apaderno → should be credited to the issue. Lot's of great suggestions to the google doc

Yes, will do @bsnodgrass

Actively working on this issue at DrupalConPDX

Marking Needs Review - changes made in the Google Doc.

- We need to clearly identify where these issues are to be created. - Would that be the site moderators queue?

One comment noted site moderators currently can only modify (and delete?) categories. Adding terms can only be done by a drupal.org webmaster.

Site moderators is the new name for Drupal.org webmaster.

The two taxonomy-related permissions are only edit & delete, so “edit” ought to imply add.

The two roles/projects that have access are https://www.drupal.org/project/site_moderators → & https://www.drupal.org/project/content → , so whichever matches this task closest

Suggested changes from Review added to the Google Doc.

I will add initial content to the stub documentation page.

Commenting to note that bsnodgrass had asked me to review the Google Doc, which I did. I made a number of suggestions to add clarity and improve the document flow and organization.

Updated the Stub documentation page - The google doc is basically deprecated at this point.

Future edits should happen on https://www.drupal.org/drupalorg/docs/maintenance/module-categories-updates →

Wiki page is up, woohoo!

realizing this is not my issue queue! leaving RTBC so credit can be attributed.

Please also credit @apaderno who did a lot of work in the original Google Doc.

drumm → credited apaderno → .

Thanks all!
