Track issues from a code repository, and show them on your WordPress site.

Description

This plugin makes it possible to show a list of issues from GitHub on a WordPress page. It has a flexible filtering system so you can specify which issues from which projects that should be taken into account.

This plugin can also make data available for other services to use, at this time Dasheroo is supported.

You can use this plugin on an intranet or extranet, to show the status of a team or project. For example, you can use it to show KPI:s such as how many issues that were closed last week, plot a graph over the current number of open issues in the current sprint (a sprint burndown chart), or show all the issues with a "help-wanted" label in order to engage with the open source community.

Here are a few examples of things you can do:

Measure the team's velocity

You can create a filter that gives you the issues which were closed during the last seven days and that has the resolved label on them. This gives you a measurement of you teams weekly velocity, i.e. how many issues the team is currently able to deal with per week.

List issues in current sprint, and show a burn down chart

In this example you can create a filter that shows the currently open issues which has the label current-sprint. You can put this list of issues on an intranet page and the team will have a nice summary of the issues in the current sprint. If you export the count of these issues to Dasheroo and plot a graph for a few days it will give you a nice burndown chart that hopefully should point to your sprint deadline.

Unassigned open issues

If you create a filter to show all the open and unassigned issues, this number says something about which issues that no one has yet stepped up and accepted responsibility for.

Issues ready for test

If you create a filter to show all the open issues with the resolved label on them, it will give the quality assurance team a nice overview of which issues that are resolved and that are ready to be tested.

Engage open source hackers

If you run an open source project, you can create a filter that shows all the issues with a help-wanted label. You can put this on a web site, and this can serve as an important step so that interested developers know what they can help out with.

Hacking

Some small things to think about if you want to contribute to this plugin:

  • Don't update the README.md file. Update the readme.txt file, then build the README.md file using make readme. This in turn uses the wp2md command, so this needs to be installed on your system.
