+### How to report issues (bugs)
+
+Bug report should contain all the information required to reproduce a bug and to make it as easy as possible to fix. This includes providing the following information
+
+- a description of the error,
+- a description of the expected behaviour,
+- a description of the actual behaviour,
+- steps to reproduce
+
+To help us to diagnose and debug your issue, please provide either a [Stackblitz](https://stackblitz.com/) link that captures your local environment and failing manifest file, OR:
+
+- the manifest file that generated the error,
+- links to any code (e.g. your own plugin code), it must be available online,
+- runtime information such as OS, node version, package.json, IF version
+
+Reported bugs will be discussed among the team in a weekly bug triage and be assigned a severity (low, medium or high). 
+
+High severity bugs will be fixed as soon as possible, whereas medium and low severity bug fixes will likely be backlogged for attention in the next available sprint. 
+
+In some cases, we might decide not to fix certain bugs if they are low severity, either because we anticipate fixes coming soon as part of already-scheduled upgrades or because we think the fixes make "good first issues" for community contributors.
+Community members are welcome to report any issue they face and also work on fixing the low priority bugs.
