Issue Labels

The Eclipse Che project relies heavily on issue labels as a way to communicate status and responsibility.

The following labels are for issues and pull request that new contributors can start with. They will appear in the https://github.com/eclipse/che/contribute page.

Label	Description
`good first issue`	Community, this issue looks easy to start with for a new contributor. Just take it. We'll help you!
`help wanted`	Community, our teams are fully engaged on other issues. Feel free to take this one. We'll help you!

Label	Description
`kind/question`	Questions that haven't been identified as being feature requests or bugs.
`kind/enhancement`	A feature request - must adhere to the feature request template.
`kind/epic`	A long-lived, PM-driven feature request. Must include a checklist of items that must be completed, which can reference enhancements or bugs.
`kind/bug`	Outline of a bug - must adhere to the bug report template. If a bug is identified during a question investigation a new issue can be created for the bug and the question closed.
