## Overview

## Being invited to the team

I made that masterpost issue with every bug and missing feature from the initial beta release, with a big checklist and organized into areas of interest.

dansup saw that and decided to invite me to join the pixelfed organization on github.

## Responsibilities

### Issue triage

I implemented the current issue tagging system.

Issues have tags by area, Milestone by rough version target, Project by which feature they pertain to

### Design consultancy

dansup does a lot of experimenting with building out mock features, and I'm there to tell him which ones are good ideas and which ones are bad ideas.

### Release planning

0.x betas each usually focus on one feature and related development around it. When the focus changes, a new 0.x beta will be tagged. We have a few more betas left, for circles, and for polish. If it weren't for me, dansup would have tagged 1.0 already and media attention would have been lackluster.
