+Got an Issue with StoryBoard?
+------------------------------
+
+If you are hitting an error, there's some new feature that you think would
+make StoryBoard even more amazing, or just something that could be a
+little different, please make a story for it! We won't know if you don't tell
+us.
+
+After you've created the story (title, description, set the default task to be
+associated with the opendev/storyboard project, etc), you are welcome to
+add tags. We have a defined set of tags we use as a project listed
+below:
+
+* blocking-storyboard-migration: These stories have been called out as blocking
+  the migration of an OpenStack project from migrating to StoryBoard from
+  Launchpad.
+* its-storyboard: These stories are related to the `gerrit plugin "its-storyboard"
+  <https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/its-storyboard/>`_ that pulls
+  information from gerrit for StoryBoard to use, i.e. updating task status, linking
+  gerrit patches to stories, etc.
+* storyboard-email: These stories relate to the email notification functionality and
+  account settings.
+* storyboard-feature-request: Stories with this tag involve implementing some new
+  feature, probably involving both api and webclient updates.
+* storyboard-notifications: Stories with this tag relate to work that needs to be
+  done with the notification mechanism StoryBoard has.
+* storyboard-releases: This tag denotes that the story relates to the release of
+  storyboard on pypi since we have started doing releases.
+* storyboard-searching-enhancements: Stories with this tag relate to work that
+  needs to be done with the searching capabilities in StoryBoard. It could mean
+  work on the jump-to search or to the advanced search that StoryBoard has.
+* storyboard-testing: This tag is applied to stories that are focused on StoryBoard's
+  testing suite- functional, integration, etc.
+* storyboard-worklists: Stories with this tag relate to work that needs to be done
+  on StoryBoard's worklist feature.
+
+You'll notice we have no storyboard-bug, this is because anything that doesn't
+generally fit into one of these other categories is likely a bug and we didn't
+see a need to tag EVERYTHING.
+
+We also use a few other tags that are more widely applicable to projects other
+than StoryBoard that may be using StoryBoard. Below they are listed and defined
+with regards to how we use them:
+
+* low-hanging-fruit: Stories with this tag on them are good places to get started
+  for newcomers, they are smaller bugs or new features that don't require a lot of
+  design or discussion.
+* dependency-upgrades: Stories with this tag discuss dependencies that are being
+  utilized by StoryBoard (like libraries) that need to be upgraded.
+* outreachy: Stories with this tag are being worked or will be worked by interns of
+  the `outreachy program <https://www.outreachy.org/>`_.
+
+Its also important to note, that more than one tag can be applied to
+a story if more than one is relevant.
