Visual assets code repository
Description
- A new project-level repo to manage visual assets, such as images in various formats, and video.
- This would be at the same level as issues and merge requests.
- It could be called
Visual Assets
. And it would be implemented as a repository so that you have versioning on the assets. - It would be highly integrated with issues, as specified in
- In particular the use cases is that during product development, you want to have items such as mockups integrated with discussions in issues. This elevates visual assets to a first-class citizen in the product development stages of planning. Note that this is different from actual code assets that are pushed to production in a project. Those assets should live in the existing code repo, as usual.
- Note that at the project level, there is the regular code repository, called
Repository
. This contains the git versioned code that is pushed into production. - There is a Wiki, that is also version controlled in the background.
- With this issue, we are creating another repo for managing visual assets.
UX and Technical Design
- We need UX designs to figure out how to manage these visual assets.
- How the visual assets integrate with issues are specified in
- We need technical designs and considerations on how to implement the repo and how it would impact storage for projects.
- There are Platform implications in terms of that storage.
