MEDomicsLab Discussions

Questions, feedback, and proof-of-concept studies for the lab's projects.

Open Discussions

Publish an announcement

1. Open the organization's Discussions, click New discussion, and select Announcements.
2. Write your announcement in the Discussion title and Write fields, then click Start discussion.
3. To feature the post, use Pin discussion in the right sidebar.

Published posts live in the organization’s Discussions tab as numbered threads, separate from the files tracked by Git.

Use New discussion for Questions, Feedback, or the project’s review category under Proof of Concept.

For a study briefing or category guide, publish it in Announcements first, then move it to the target category and pin it there. This keeps the initial post from triggering routing notifications.

Maintainer settings

Edit discussions.json to update project labels and who gets mentioned.

• scopes maps each Questions and Feedback scope to its label and maintainers. To add a scope, create its label and update both form dropdowns.
• proof_of_concept maps each review category to its project name and maintainers. To add a project, create its category and matching form at .github/DISCUSSION_TEMPLATE/<category-slug>.yml.
• excluded_discussions lists guides and briefings that should skip routing.

List usernames in the order they should be mentioned.

Automatic review titles use the DISCUSSION_EDIT_TOKEN Actions repository secret: a fine-grained personal access token with Discussions: Read and write access to MEDomicsLab/community. Replace the secret when the token expires. Maintainer notifications use the built-in GitHub Actions token.
