It would be helpful to create a few example issues that demonstrate appropriate usage of each column, including what a properly formatted backlog item looks like vs a to do item that is ready to be worked on. This would give contributors a clear reference when adding new issues to any project board.

Created the Projects Template project board in the org repo as a reference implementation of the standard column structure. This can be used as a guide when setting up new project boards across the org.

Closing this issue and opening a new one that more closely follows the convetions recently described in the .forgejo repo.
