Thinking of contributing to iD? High five! Here are some basics for our habits
so that you can write code that fits in perfectly.
## Code of Conduct
We want everyone to feel comfortable contributing to iD. Please read the project
[Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) and remember to be nice to one another.

## Issue Labels
We use GitHub labels to keep track of issues. Some guidelines:
Green labels are for **action items**. Jump in and start working!
* <sub>![get-started](http://labl.es/svg?text=get-started&bgcolor=0e8a16)</sub> -
Issues are great for new contributors.
* <sub>![priority](http://labl.es/svg?text=priority&bgcolor=0e8a16)</sub> -
Issues that have a big impact or matter most to _new mappers_.
<br/>(There should probably be 10 or fewer "priority" items.)
Red labels are for **bugs**. These are things that we want fixed, but might be a bit more
complicted than the green action items.
* <sub>![bug](http://labl.es/svg?text=bug&bgcolor=d93f0b)</sub>

<sub>![bug-browser-specific](http://labl.es/svg?text=bug-browser-specific&bgcolor=d93f0b)</sub>
Purple labels are for **non-action items**. These might be a question or feature request
that needs some discussion about whether it belongs in iD. Discuss before working on these.
* <sub>![considering](http://labl.es/svg?text=considering&bgcolor=cc33cc)</sub>
<sub>![question](http://labl.es/svg?text=question&bgcolor=cc33cc)</sub>
Yellow labels are for **chores**. These are the things like code cleanup, upgrades, tests,
documentation, repository gardening, and other stuff that makes developers happy.

open while we wait for something to happen.

Light Grey labels are for **wontfix items**. We've decided these doesn't belong in
iD at this time. Don't feel bad, sometimes we change our minds later and revisit them!

## Submitting Changes
Let's say that you've thought of a great improvement to iD - a change that
turns everything red (please do not do this, we like colors other than red).
We like when people get involved! iD is a busy project, and it helps the
maintainers if you first open an issue to ask whether an idea makes sense,
instead of surprising us with a pull request.
