Hey Sri, I was hoping to take a look at GitLab's kanban board since I actually do think it could work for engagement and marketing and it could then help people unfamiliar with that structure to be more comfortable in participating in dev teams later on. At Endless, we've moved our marketing and community teams to our kaban board tool (Phabricator).
Could we set up a test case? Maybe that's something we can look into together at GNOME.Asia.

Like I always say to my customers when they come to me and ask me for
this or that tool: what is the problem you are trying to solve?
“Project management” is not an acceptable answer. ☺ I’m never opposed
to any tool (software license and privacy are not an issue here since
it’s Free and we would host our instance) but one should use a tool
because it is the right one for their task at hand, not because it
looks cool.Yes, I am definitely trying to solve a problem.We are doing project management through a wiki and etherpad. This is a horrible way to set and figure out the tasks. While there is no native client for project management we seem to be blessed with many open source project management software that we can try out and see if we can help track our tasks. We don't have a lot of resources, and having software that maximizes our productivity given our constraints is a good thing. For instance, GNOME releases would be a lot more easier if we have all that mapped out with tasks already set.
Same logic applies to kanban boards (someone recently said we should
use gitlab because it has kanban boards).We could look at it, but gitlab doesn't really deal well with engagement and marketing I would reckon right? I'm willing to look at existing things we have already.. I will look into gitlab's kanboard stuff. Although I'm not that impressed with kanban.

Sure, testing is always good.Indeed.sri
