>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #3571912. --> Reported by: [murz](https://www.drupal.org/user/157092) >>> <p>[Tracker]<br> <strong>Update Summary: </strong>[One-line status update for stakeholders]<br> <strong>Check-in Date: </strong>MM/DD/YYYY<br> <strong>Additional Collaborators: </strong><br> <em>Metadata is used by the <a href="https://www.drupalstarforge.ai/" title="AI Tracker">AI Tracker.</a> Docs and additional fields <a href="https://www.drupalstarforge.ai/ai-dashboard/docs" title="AI Issue Tracker Documentation">here</a>.</em><br> [/Tracker]</p> <h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3> <p>For now, the AI Initiative contributors have to track the time in the Google Sheets&nbsp;document, which is very inconvenient, especially with linking to actual tasks and describing the details. For example, if a contributor worked with 5 tasks during the day, it will be 5 separate rows, or one row with 5 links and short descriptions?</p> <p>Also, aggregating the data from different sheets to create the combined report is hard manual work too.</p> <h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3> <p>Seems we can significantly simplify this burden by tracking time using the GitLab Time tracking feature <a href="https://docs.gitlab.com/user/project/time_tracking/">https://docs.gitlab.com/user/project/time_tracking/</a> - it is included in the Free tier and should be available on the <a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/">https://git.drupalcode.org/</a> instance.&nbsp; </p> <p>Using this way, we will get time spans attached directly to Drupal.org users and can even filter/aggregate them per organization. And attaching time tracking to concrete issues, allowing grouping of multiple users' efforts per issue.</p> <p>Even more, we can label issues from different projects, and generate the combined report automatically!</p> <p>The best way is to migrate all the AI Initiative project issues to GitLab, but it is still in the waiting list here <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/drupalorg/issues/3409678">https://www.drupal.org/project/drupalorg/issues/3409678</a> &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p>So, maybe, for now, just enable issues here <a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/ai_initiative">https://git.drupalcode.org/project/ai_initiative</a> and fill placeholder issues to allow time tracking using the new convenient way? </p> <p>Or maybe poke someone to move the ai_initiative to the top of the waiting list queue here <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/drupalorg/issues/3409678">https://www.drupal.org/project/drupalorg/issues/3409678</a> ? &#128513;</p> <h3 id="summary-remaining-tasks">Target date or deadline</h3> <h3 id="summary-remaining-tasks">Remaining tasks</h3> <h3 id="summary-ai-usage">AI usage (if applicable)</h3> <p>[ ] AI Assisted Issue<br> This issue was generated with AI assistance, but was reviewed and refined by the creator.</p> <p>[ ] AI Assisted Code<br> This code was mainly generated by a human, with AI autocompleting or parts AI generated, but under full human supervision.</p> <p>[ ] AI Generated Code<br> This code was mainly generated by an AI with human guidance, and reviewed, tested, and refined by a human.</p> <p>[ ] Vibe Coded<br> This code was generated by an AI and has only been functionally tested.</p>
