Vimwiki project board organization ideas

vimwiki_org.md

Using vimwiki or wiki.vim, I'm trying to setup some organization boards for projects. Here are some notes on the subject.

Board structure

Below is an example of how I structure individual project boards:

# Ad hoc tasks #

[backlog](./backlog.md) :: Tasks available for grooming
[archive](./archive.md) :: Finished and stale tasks
[notes](./notes.md)     :: Misc. notes and context

## To do ##

## Blocked ##

## In progress ##

[Create Git repository](./6a20c3fc-60c5-4752-a8ec-1db17a182b72.md)

## Done ##

Automatic ticket creation

Below is a remap example that highlights a line, turns it into a link to a new local file, whose name is just a UUID, generated by Ultisnips/vim-snippets. The philosphy of this being that tickets are plentiful and I won't really be navigating by filename ever, only the wiki hyperlinks. This allows me to not be bothered with naming collisions and what to name my files.

" Note the tab character before '.md' is leveraging a plugin to auto-expand the 'uuid' snippet.
nnoremap <leader><leader>k normal ^v$\sa[A(./uuid	.md)<cr>

This can be further enhanced. Maybe prepopulates the new file with the ticket template, etc.

Not all tasks really need to be a ticket. Only tasks that might need specific requirements that aren't self-evident, need additional contextual information, or would benefit from a log of events.
