Aluminum Dev Cycle

[erquhart]

Aluminum is our first six week development cycle. We need some way to reference cycles, so we're going to try naming them after elements from the periodic table. First up, A is for Aluminum!

Aluminum will focus on our goal of facilitating Open Source Docs contributions through Netlify CMS as a less technical alternative to writing docs directly in GitHub. We'll also be digging into long standing requests for the CMS.

How It Works

The development cycle will begin Monday, February 18th, and end Friday, March 29th. A release for the cycle will occur during the final week, allowing room for follow up patches.

What's Included

• Support OSS Documentation Contributors #2093: Support OSS Documentation Contributors
  Open source docs sites generally provide "Edit this page on GitHub" links throughout. This effort will allow Netlify CMS to be used instead of editing within GitHub, even if the contributor doesn't have write access to the repo.
• Add sorting ability to list of entries #54: Add sorting ability to list of entries
  Some kind of sorting needs to be provided in the CMS, even if it's just driven by config. As evidenced in the issue, this request seems simplistic, but is actually pretty complex for Git via API. But we got this 💪
• Entry Card Customization #2019: Entry Card Customization
  This one is requested often, and shouldn't be tough to implement, we just need to figure out the right configuration approach.
• https://github.com/netlify/netlify-cms/issues/2092: We need guides.
  Our current docs effort is centered around guides - entries focused on a specific aspect of Netlify CMS, or that cover an integration angle, like authenticating with XYZ library. This is sort of an umbrella issue, and a great place to get started contributing.
