;tl;dr Labels to use in GitHub issues:

=Issue Labels=
This use of [[GitHub]] issue labels was developed by the [[Socialwg|Social Web Working Group]], however is generic enough for any W3C group to consider using to help facilitate W3C processes:
''W3C follows processes that promote the development of high-quality standards based on the consensus of the Membership, Team, and public. W3C processes promote fairness, responsiveness, and progress: all facets of the W3C mission.''

== Labels List and Descriptions ==
See: '''[https://github.com/sandhawke/spec-labels-min/labels?sort=name-asc Colored list of labels]'''

=== Labels for closed issues to support W3C Process ===
* Commenter Not Satisfied -- Some commenters want to be on the record as unsatisfied 
* Commenter Satisfied -- Includes satisfied with our handling of the issue; does not require they actually like the outcome
* Commenter Timeout (assuming satisfied) -- Commenter is unresponsive and has not indicated satisfied of not

=== Labels for closed issues to support future work ===
* Postponed (revisit in future effort) -- Typically the next WG will use these as a starting point for discussion, and it often helps close an issue with Commenter Satisfied

=== Labels for Group Agenda/Decision Planning ===
* Editorial (would not change implementations) -- no need for WG involvement
* Needs Group Input/Decision -- waiting for WG to help resolve this issue
* Needs Process Help -- flags concerns that aren't directly about the spec, but rather about larger concerns, probably requiring management help

=== Labels to help clarify what's going on ===
* Waiting for Commenter -- helps folks know how it's blocked
* Needs Volunteer --  (Less-Needed: mostly optimistically retaining and renaming github's "help wanted")

== Setup ==

Remove github default labels:
* bug -- not very helpful for a spec; is it editorial, etc
* duplicate -- doesn't reduce need to address it
* enhancement -- not clear how this is helpful for a spec
* help wanted -- vague, renamed (with same color) as Waiting For Help
* invalid -- not sufficiently polite
* question -- doesn't reduce need to address it; does the spec need to change to answer this question?  Or is it "Process/Community"?
* wontfix -- not sufficiently polite
