# Contributing to Twenty

Thanks for considering contributing to Twenty!

Please make sure to go through the [documentation](https://docs.twenty.com) before.

## Good first issues

Good first issues are a great way to start contributing and get familiar with the codebase. You can find them on by filtering on the [good first issue](https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/labels/good%20first%20issue) label.

## Issue assignment

To avoid conflicts, we follow these guidelines:

1. For `Good First Issue` and `Experienced Contributor` issues without `size: long` labels, we'll merge the first PRs that meet our [code quality standards](https://docs.twenty.com/developers). **We don't assign contributors to these issues**. For `priority: high` issues, our core team will step in within days if no adequate contributions are received.
2. For `size: long` Issues, assigned contributors have one week to submit their first draft PR.
