+### 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
+
+As an additional info, you can also provide either a Stackblitz link, 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 should pass the triage stage and be prioritized (low, medium or high).Then the issues will be fixed in the next available opportunity post-triage. 
+
+Community members are welcome to report any issue they face and also work on fixing the low priority bugs.

-- **What**: 
-- **Why**: 
-- **DoD**:
-- [ ] Does the model meet the specification?
-- [ ] Does the model have complete test coverage, including edge cases, happy path and error cases?
-- [ ] Is the code documented?
-
-## Config
-- `variable`: If this variable is present in the top level config what behaviour does it trigger? What is the default value if none is provided?
-
-## Inputs
-_List the variables this model expects in an input input_
-- `variable`: Description
-
-## Outputs
-_List the variables this model exports out as an impact_
-- `variable`: Description
-
-## Behavior
-What does the model do to turn the inputs into outputs? List any important equations or references.
-
-## Assumptions
-What are the core assumptions this model makes?
-
-## Limitations
-In what situations is this model limited in it's function, behaviour, accuracy etc...
-
-## Example
-Provide at least one example of some input config and inputs. This is in pimpl format not rimpl format, so the config is the global config and all parameters must be present on the input.
-
-### Input
-
-```yaml
-config:

+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.
