Description

We try to avoid breaking changes in Pelias, but sometimes they are required.

While we have a roadmap document for new features, it might make sense to explicitly call out things that we expect or plan to build a breaking change around soon.

Some examples of what we could list currently:

Contributor guide

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start with development/roadmap.md, which is the existing roadmap document referenced by the issue, and review the linked Pelias, Who’s On First, and interpolation items. Add a clearly labeled list or section for planned breaking changes, preserving links to the relevant issues and pull request; done means the upcoming changes are easy to find and understand.
