Want to help Go? Help "garden".

To steal some terminology from the Chrome team and others, I've created a "Gardening" wiki page, listing common Go project maintenance tasks:


Please add to it if you can think of more.

I will also append to it as I find myself doing my repetitive daily tasks.

Thanks for this list! Please count me in on any tasks doable from a Android mobile device. Perfect for commuting!

I do Go gardening from Android sometimes, but it's pretty damn painful. I wouldn't recommend it as a way to pass the time.

Done.

Updated three wiki pages and made them cross-reference each other.

Page mentions modifying the issue (change title/label or close them). But IIRC, you'd needs permissions for that. It might be worth mentioning any process for obtaining such access, if any.

Also, does github allow partial permissions. Like you can only change the titles and/or add these subset of labels, but not all?

I suggest adding a link to the wiki page that describes
the issues life-cycle:

https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/HandlingIssues

to the "Gardening Tasks: Triage new bugs" section in the
gardening page. It's important that people doing gardening
on the issues read and understand that page.

A.

Do you want to edit the wiki and fix that?

Request permission if you don't know how. (And fix the GithubAccess page to clarify that the "go-approvers" set is also the people who can edit the wiki, I believe... maybe?)

Ah, I just noticed that all the wiki pages are open by default: I can edit
the gardening page. I added that info.
