Like this and yes to Search-and-Discovery-DepartmentOne option to allow users to find the right place is phab's "hashtags" feature. Currently, if you search for a project and type "openst", you will get the sprint project that has OpenStreetMap in the name, but you will also get the Maps project. The reason the Maps project comes up is because it has openstreetmap as a hashtag. If we removed that tag from the Maps project, and added it to the Search and Discovery Department project, then S&D D would come up as a search result for "OpenSt". We could do the same thing for all the other relevant hashtags, like map, maps, WDQS, WikidataQueryService, Wikidata-Query-Service, Cirrus, Elastic, etc, etc.

This seems like a decision that should be org-wide. Where and how should that discussion happen?As for naming the main team project. I notice that Editing has the "Editing-Department" project. Should I rename our "Search-Team" phab project to "Search-and-Discovery-Department"?

I don't know what the solution to this is at present.Dan--On 13 May 2015 at 18:50, Wes Moran <wmoran@wikimedia.org> wrote:For clarity, organizational consistency, keep maps under the Search and Discovery audience please. I understand it is not perfect and lets see how it plays out with communication, reserving the right to change this as we progress if it is a problem. We maintain a clear task for maps on the product wiki and engineering wiki for the year.Maps is aligned with Search and Discovery. It is a function under our collective org which yes the top level needs to be called Search and Discovery. We could shorten to just Discovery but alas then search would also have the same challenges.On Wed, May 13, 2015 at 1:33 PM, Kevin Smith <ksmith@wikimedia.org> wrote:_______________________________________________Is this just a case where we have to educate folks that "maps" work goes in "Search-Team"? Or are there other options?Even if we had a maps-related sprint board whose name would match a phab search for "map", that wouldn't be what we would want. We don't want random users dropping tasks directly into our sprint board. We really want new tasks to land in the product backlog first.We really want to consolidate all of our product backlogs in one place, to help keep Dan sane. So I don't think keeping an external high-level "Maps" project is a viable option. And I don't think adding the word "maps" to the main Search-Team project would make sense either. We might want to rename our top-level project to "Search-and-Discovery-Team" for other reasons, but that wouldn't help this specific case.Our plan has been to have all Search&Discovery issues managed in the Search-Team phabricator project, and then for each subteam to have a sprint board for its current work.However, Yuri pointed out that people wanting to create a new task related to maps would expect to add it to a project with "maps" in the name. Folks outside our team often would not realize that maps are part of the Search vertical.
