# TFGrid3 Development Process

This document outlines our development process and how we prioritize feedback and feature requests for the TFGrid3 project.

## Milestone-Based Prioritization

We use a milestone-based approach to prioritize issues and feature requests in our Gitea repository. This helps us organize our development efforts and provides transparency to the community about what we're working on and what's coming next.

### Priority Categories

We categorize our work into three main priority levels:

#### Now

Issues marked with the "Now" milestone are our current top priorities. These are actively being worked on and will be included in the next release. We focus our immediate development efforts on these items.

#### Next

The "Next" milestone contains issues that are planned for upcoming releases after the current development cycle. These are important features or fixes that have been prioritized but aren't in active development yet.

#### Later

Issues in the "Later" milestone are on our radar but are scheduled for future consideration. These may be features that require more planning, have dependencies on other work, or are simply lower priority at this time.

## How We Determine Priorities

Our prioritization process takes into account several factors:

1. Community feedback and requests
2. Strategic alignment with project goals
3. Technical dependencies and prerequisites
4. Available resources and development capacity

## Contributing to the Process

We welcome community input on our priorities. If you have feedback on what should be prioritized, please:

1. Comment on existing issues to express your interest or provide additional context
2. Open new issues for features or improvements not yet tracked
3. Participate in community discussions about roadmap and priorities

Your input helps us ensure we're focusing on what matters most to the TFGrid3 community.

## Development Workflow

Once issues are prioritized, they follow this general workflow:

1. Specification and planning (documented in the `/specs` directory)
2. Implementation and testing
3. Review and feedback
4. Deployment and release
5. Post-release monitoring and iteration

This process helps ensure that we deliver high-quality features that meet the needs of our community.
