+# Contributing to this project
+
+Thanks for wanting to contribute to the project!
+
+There are many things we appreciate help with. The simplest is to report problems you see in the documentation or while using the project, by creating an issue.
+
+If you have a specific change you'd like to submit, be it documentation, bug fixes or new features, please read our guide on [how to create merge requests following our conventions](https://gitlab.com/opensavvy/wiki/-/blob/main/README.md#wiki).
+
+> Before starting making large changes, please do talk about it with us! Some things, in particular, deploying to new platforms requires changes on our side as well.
+
+## Issue tracking
+
+If you want to contribute, but do not know what to improve, we recommend going through to existing issues.
+We assign labels to issues to make them easier to find.
+
+If you're reading this page in GitLab, the labels should appear in color and be clickable.
+If you're reading this on another tool, you can search by label in the issue list.
+
+**Labels common to all OpenSavvy projects**
+
+<details open>
+<summary>Issue type</summary>
+
+- ~feature: High-level feature/use-case description (implementation is split into multiple sub-issues).
+- ~discussion: More discussion is required before classification or implementation can be started.
+- ~deployment: Issues related to deployment, CI/CD or other kinds of automation.
+- ~documentation: Documentation improvements or problems.
+- ~bug: Something does not behave as expected.
+- ~security: Security risk to users of the project.
+- ~incident: Deployment issue (the website is down…).
+- ~wontfix: We decided that this issue is out of scope for the project, or cannot be done.
+- ~blocked-externally: We cannot go further on this topic, because some external service/library we depend on has a bug/is missing a feature.
+
+</details>
+<details>
+<summary>Contribution difficulty</summary>
+
+These labels are indicators of how hard we think it is to implement them for an external contributor.
+We do not always label issues by contribution difficulty. If you are interested in an issue that isn't labelled, don't hesitate to write a comment communicating your interest and asking for precision.
+
+- ~contribution::easy: Issues that are well explained and require little project knowledge.
+- ~contribution::medium: Issues that are well explained, but require some project knowledge.
+- ~contribution::difficult: Issues that are well explained, but require a strong understanding of the project.
+
+</details>
+<details>
+<summary>Priority</summary>
+
+- ~priority::low: Implementation is not time-sensitive.
+- ~priority::medium: Normal priority.
+- ~priority::high: We want to do this soon.
+- ~priority::urgent: We want to do this as soon as possible.
+
+</details>
+<details>
+<summary>Severity (only for bugs and incidents)</summary>
+
+- ~severity::cosmetic: Some parts of the project do not look as good as they could, or there is a minor error in documentation. Usage is not impacted.
+- ~severity::minor: Some parts of the project are inconvenient to use.
+- ~severity::moderate: Some parts of the project cannot be used.
+- ~severity::major: Some important parts of the project cannot be used.
+- ~severity::critical: The entire project cannot be used.
+
+</details>
+<details>
+<summary>Development state (issues only)</summary>
+
+We do not always use these labels. When in doubt, write a comment asking for precision.
+These labels should only be applied to issues, not merge requests.
+
+- ~issue::doing: Someone is currently working on it.
+- ~issue::review: A merge request exists that will close this issue, and it's entered the review cycle.
+
+</details>
