# Using GitHub GitHub is a critical piece of infrastructure and a daily working environment for everyone at Datum; we organize our work in releases, enhancements and issues. GitHub is a critical piece of infrastructure and a daily working environment for everyone on our team. We use it in the following ways: - As a code repository for all public projects (Datum, Milo, and related) as well as private projects (stuff that we use to run Datum Cloud) - To organize our work, from releases down to enhancements and issues - To drive content on our website, including docs, handbook, changelog, roadmap, etc. - To organize our work within and across teams - To solicit new ideas and debate the options, via GitHub Discussions As a central tool for our team, every team member at Datum is expected to embrace a solid dose of markdown. Of course, GitHub can also be pretty confusing, so we're happy to help you get up to speed as part of onboarding. Here are a few useful tips: 1. If you want to suggest a new feature - Start a discussion or review [enhancements](https://github.com/orgs/datum-cloud/projects/22/views/1) 2. If you want to know what's being worked on - Check out the latest Milestone 3. If you want to review recent activity - See the [#github-updates](https://datum-inc.slack.com/archives/C07UMLMJHGC). We ask our Engineering team to curate the Enhancements and Release aspects of GitHub, but active commenting is always appreciated. --- Source:
