our maintainers triage them. Triage is its own topic. For now, it is important
for you to know that triage includes ranking issues according to difficulty.
Triaged issues have either a <strong class="gh-label white-belt">white-belt</strong>
or <strong class="gh-label black-belt">black-belt</strong> label.
A <strong class="gh-label white-belt">white-belt</strong> issue is considered
an easier issue. Issues can have more than one label, for example,
<strong class="gh-label bug">bug</strong>,
<strong class="gh-label improvement">improvement</strong>,
<strong class="gh-label project-doc">project/doc</strong>, and so forth.
These other labels are there for filtering purposes but you might also find
them helpful.

written a whole plugin for Docker in a personal project and never contributed to
Docker. With that kind of experience, you could take on an <strong

We don't allow external contributors to assign issues to themselves, so you
need to read the comments to find if a user claimed an issue by saying:
- "I'd love to give this a try~"
- "I'll work on this!"
- "I'll take this."
The community is very good about claiming issues explicitly.

### Step 3: Classify the Issue
Classifications help both to inform readers about an issue's priority and how to resolve it.
This is also helpful for identifying new, critical issues. Classifications types are
applied to the issue or pull request using labels.
This is also helpful for identifying new, critical issues. "Kinds of" are
applied to the issue or pull request using labels. You can apply one or more labels.
Types of classification:
Kinds of classifications:
| Type | Description |
|-------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| improvement | improvements are not bugs or new features but can drastically improve usability. |
| regression | regressions are usually easy fixes as hopefully the action worked previously and git history can be used to propose a solution. |
| bug | bugs are bugs. The cause may or may not be known at triage time so debugging should be taken account into the time estimate. |
| feature | features are new and shinny. They are things that the project does not currently support. |
| Kind | Description |
|------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| kind/enhancement | Enhancement are not bugs or new features but can drastically improve usability or performance of a project component. |
| kind/cleanup | Refactoring code or otherwise clarifying documentation. |
| kind/content | Content that is not documentation such as help or error messages. |
| kind/graphics | Work involving graphics skill |
| kind/regression | Regressions are usually easy fixes as hopefully the action worked previously and git history can be used to propose a solution. |
| kind/bug | Bugs are bugs. The cause may or may not be known at triage time so debugging should be taken account into the time estimate. |
| kind/feature | Functionality or other elements that the project does not currently support. Features are new and shinny. |
| kind/question | Contains a user or contributor question requiring a response. |
| kind/usecase | A description of a user or contributor situation requiring a response perhaps in code or documentation. |
| kind/writing | Writing documentation, man pages, articles, blogs, or other significant word-driven task. |
| kind/test | Tests or test infrastructure needs adding or updating. |
### Step 4: Estimate the Difficulty
Difficulty is a way for a contributor to find an issue based on their skill set. Difficulty types are
applied to the issue or pull request using labels.
Contributors can add labels by using a `+kind/bug` in an issue or pull request comment.
Difficulty
### Step 4: Estimate the experience level required
Experience level is a way for a contributor to find an issue based on their
skill set. Experience types are applied to the issue or pull request using
labels.
| Level | Experience level guideline |
|------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| exp/beginner | You have made less than 10 contributions in your life time to any open source project. |
| exp/novice | You have made more than 10 contributions to an open source project or at least 5 contributions to Docker. |
| exp/proficient | You have made more than 5 contributions to Docker which amount to at least 200 code lines or 1000 documentation lines. |
| exp/expert | You have made less than 20 commits to Docker which amount to 500-1000 code lines or 1000-3000 documentation lines. |
| exp/master | You have made more than 20 commits to Docker and greater than 1000 code lines or 3000 documentation lines. |
As the table states, these labels are meant as guidelines. You might have
written a whole plugin for Docker in a personal project and never contributed to
Docker. With that kind of experience, you could take on an <strong
class="gh-label expert">exp/expert</strong> or <strong class="gh-label
master">exp/master</strong> level task.
Contributors can add labels by using a `+exp/expert` format in issue comment.
| Type | Description |
|--------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| white-belt | Simple, non-time consuming issue, easy first task to accomplish |
| black-belt | Expert at the subject matter or someone who likes pain |
And that's it. That should be all the information required for a new or existing contributor to come in an resolve an issue.
