Introducing the Municipio Project Aggregator — development in the open
We’ve been working on something we think will change how you follow along with Municipio development: project.getmunicipio.com.
It’s a live project aggregator that pulls together issues, pull requests, and activity from every GitHub repository tagged with the getmunicipio topic — all in one place. No more jumping between repos to figure out what’s happening. No more guessing what’s being worked on or what’s coming next.
Why we built this
Municipio is spread across a lot of repositories — the styleguide, the theme, plugins, component libraries, and more. If you wanted to know what the team was working on, you had to know which repos to check and then piece the picture together yourself. That’s not great for transparency, and it’s not great for collaboration.
We want to change that. Our ambition is to be more open and transparent about what we’re building, what we’re planning, and where things stand. The project aggregator is the first step in that direction.
What’s on the page
Head over to project.getmunicipio.com and you’ll find a consolidated view of issues and activity across the entire Municipio ecosystem. The data is pulled automatically from every repo that has the getmunicipio GitHub topic and updates once per hour.
Sprint planning will be visible here too — we’ll be filling it in as we go, so you can follow what’s in the current sprint and what’s queued up next.
Release logs are moving here
One practical change worth highlighting: release logs will move to the project aggregator and will no longer be published on getmunicipio.com. This centralizes everything development-related in one place — issues, progress, and releases — instead of splitting it across multiple sites.
How you can help: tag your repos
The aggregator discovers repositories automatically based on the getmunicipio GitHub topic. If you maintain repos that are part of the Municipio ecosystem — plugins, custom integrations, child themes, whatever it might be — add the getmunicipio topic to those repos and they’ll show up in the aggregator within the hour.
To add a topic in GitHub: go to your repository, click the gear icon next to “About” in the top right, and add getmunicipio to the Topics field.
The more repos that are tagged, the more complete the picture becomes for everyone.
What’s next
This is still early days — we’ve been building this over a short period and will keep improving it. Expect sprint planning to get more detailed over time, and for the aggregator to become the go-to place for understanding where Municipio is heading.
We believe open development leads to better software. Take a look at project.getmunicipio.com and let us know what you think.
