Github Issues

To help folks get up to speed with programming in the language Go (aka Golang) or the other relevant languages used by the repository, we try to label issues with approximate difficulty. Borrowing the ranking terminology used by the game Go, we use the following labeling scheme:

• Difficulty:DDK -- (Double Digit Kyu) Issues a beginner to programming in the language in the relevant repository (typically Golang) can tackle. Issues marked as DDK should be clearly marked with the expectations and requirements by experienced Contributors to Otrego.
• Difficulty:Kyu -- (Single Digit Kyu) Issues an intermediate programmer in the relevant languages can tackle. Issues marked as Kyu should have clear scope, but can assume general comptency in unit-testing, language style, and algorithms.
• Difficulty:Dan -- Issues an experienced programmer can tackle. Dan issues may have unclear scope, require complex algorithms, or require understanding & integrating with other technologies (Cloud Services, Authentication).
• Difficulty:Pro -- Issues that only the most experienced contributors in Otrego should tackle. Pro issues frequently require significant design and significant understanding of the game Go.

We expect most issues to fall in either Kyu and Dan categories.
