One weakness of the current editorial workflow[1] is that there's no
obvious way to indicate that an article needs a featured image. There
are four possibilities I see. What does the team think?
1. Create a new column
Advantages: Easy to see which articles need images so that people can
easily claim those.
Disadvantages: Adds another step to the flow and doesn't represent
well that images can be done in parallel to editing.
2. Use a tag
Advantages: Color coding means the card indicates the article needs an
image in most view.
Disadvantages: It's not clear what the color coding means unless you
already know.
3. Use a custom field
Advantages: Can have multiple choices to represent state (needed, in
progress, done).
Disadvantages: Not visible without opening the card
4. Use a task within the user story
Advantages: Can be assigned and have it's own state. We could also
potentially do the same for editing, though that might be redundant.
Disadvantages: Not visible without opening the card.
