@felixarntz @adamsilverstein my idea behind this, as discussed with @ThierryA , was to create a single issue for each focus area, detailing any high-level documents, list our individual epics / projects and also have a single point of reference for any associated proposals and their status. Please let me know thoughts here.

@eclarke1 +1 from my perspective, I like the idea of having two types of overviews, one for the focus area and one for each project (within a focus area). The latter would then be named "epic" as far as I understand the suggestion, correct?

[eclarke1]

@felixarntz yep absolutely. Was thinking of using the [Type] Overview label for those focus area overviews, and a [Type] Epic for the projects within a focus area.
I have updated our epics within [Images] to have this labelling system. Question will be if we want to recommend using this format for other focus areas too. Up for discussion perhaps?

@eclarke1 Given that we now have a dedicated project board, I think we can close this issue in favor of that board?
