I'd like to propose we use a Taiga kanban board to track the state of our articles and the publishing schedule.
Having a board will have multiple benefits, including: - Quick overview of the current state and the publishing schedule - Writing comments to the articles — things to remember when editing, etc. - Ability to move some of our activities from the meeting to the board, such as +1's on the pitches, assigning edits and images, or even scheduling in some cases — that could give us more time in the meeting for other discussions that need to happen real-time - A board will be also more intuitive and accessible to newcomers
What do you think? Do we wanna give this a try? To give people a better idea I've created an example board [1] in the teams.fp.o Taiga.
Cheers! Adam

Wordpress has most of this stuff already (or we did at some point with some of the plugins), but we have never really used it to any extent, and it also is kind of hard to keep track of it from the birds-eye view that taiga will give us.
A quick google search suggests that there really arent any plugins or anything to integrate between wordpress and taiga, so when something changes state (i.e. a pitch to a draft), we will have to manually change it in both places, right?

My understanding was that we would move the state management of articles in taiga. So I am not sure if still need all the current categories in wordpress ? Otherwise I think the weekly meeting would be a good place to maintain the board so IMO we would really only move cards in taiga during the meeting.

That would let us remove a couple 'status' values, yes. And that might simplify some issues with writers not being able to access their articles once they're in Pending Review. We might just have the default status values in that case and maybe simplify the ACLs.
I'm game for this. It would be great if someone can write up a *page* on the WP proposing how the workflow will work.

So should we give this a try this week? I'll get everything in place before the meeting!

I mentioned to Adam there's also a Kanban plugin (maybe more than one) for WP. No problem using Taiga for this, but I wonder if the plugin is worth investigating if it offers some way to conveniently link to article content (drafts, etc.).

Yeah I think that's definitely worth looking into!
My main motivation behind having a board is to have a quick overview of what's going on. One part of it is the board itself, and the other part is that we could only see the content that's "active" without deleting things from Wordpress — maybe articles that take time to write, etc. (or maybe we should delete more things?) And comments, so we remember what we talked about in the past regarding each article.
So if there are better ways to do this than the Taiga board, I'm definitely up to try it!
