 # Issues
 
 ## Choosing an issue
 
-Basically, there are two places to look up for the issues to contribute to. <br/>
-The first one is our ["Up for grabs"](https://github.com/provectus/kafka-ui/projects/11) board, where issues are sorted by required experience level (beginner, intermediate, expert).

-The next thing to consider is labels. You can sort the issues by scope labels, like, `scope/backend`, `scope/frontend` or even `scope/k8s`. If the issue requires a few areas to work on, and you don't have a required expertise, still feel free to pick it and do your part, others will do the rest.

 ## Grabbing the issue
 
-There is a bunch of criteria for an issue to be liable for development. <br/>
-The implementation of the features and/or their enhancements should be reasonable, must be backed by justified requirements (demanded by community, [roadmap](documentation/project/ROADMAP.md) plans, etc.). Final decision is left for maintainers' discretion. <br/>
-All the bugs should be confirmed as such (that the behavior is unintended).
