Reviewing Documentation Issues

This page explains how documentation issues are reviewed and prioritized for the kubernetes/kubernetes.github.io repository. The purpose is to provide a way to organize issues and make it easier to contribute to Kubernetes documentation. The following should be used as the standard way of prioritizing, labeling, and interacting with issues.

Categorizing issues

Issues should be sorted into different buckets of work using the following labels and definitions. If an issue doesn’t have enough information to identify a problem that can be researched, reviewed, or worked on (i.e. the issue doesn’t fit into any of the categories below) you should close the issue with a comment explaining why it is being closed.

Needs Clarification

Actionable

Needs Tech Review

Needs Docs Review

Needs UX Review

Prioritizing Issues

The following labels and definitions should be used to prioritize issues. If you change the priority of an issues, please comment on the issue with your reasoning for the change.

P1

P2

P3

Handling special issue types

Duplicate issues

If a single problem has one or more issues open for it, the problem should be consolidated into a single issue. You should decide which issue to keep open (or open a new issue), port over all relevant information, link related issues, and close all the other issues that describe the same problem. Only having a single issue to work on will help reduce confusion and avoid duplicating work on the same problem.

Depending on where the dead link is reported, different actions are required to resolve the issue. Dead links in the API and Kubectl docs are automation issues and should be assigned a P1 until the problem can be fully understood. All other dead links are issues that need to be manually fixed and can be assigned a P3.
