+If you are seeing an issue about unclear wording, missing explanations, outdated examples, or reference structure, please open an issue in this repository. If the issue appears to be a bug or behavior change in the p5.js library itself, please open an issue in the [core p5.js repository](https://github.com/processing/p5.js). If you’re unsure where an issue belongs, feel free to open it here with as much context as possible, and a maintainer can help route it.

 ## How To Contribute
 Known bugs and intended new features are tracked using [GitHub issues](https://github.com/processing/p5.js-website/issues). If you'd like to start working on an existing issue, comment on the issue that you plan to work on it so other contributors know it's being handled and can offer help. Once you have completed your work on this issue, [submit a pull request (PR)](https://github.com/processing/p5.js/blob/main/contributor_docs/contributor_guidelines.md#pull-requests) to the p5.js main branch. In the description field of the PR, include "resolves #XXXX" tagging the issue you are fixing. If the PR addresses the issue but doesn't completely resolve it (ie the issue should remain open after your PR is merged), write "addresses #XXXX".

+### Get Assigned Before Working on an Issue
+Please read the Contributor guidelines before contributing: https://p5js.org/contribute/contributor_guidelines/
+
+When an issue is first created, it may be labeled Under review, which means it is still being reviewed by maintainers and is not yet ready for work. Please do not start work on these issues.
+Once an issue has been reviewed and approved, it will be labeled Ready to contribute. Only issues with this label should be requested for assignment. When a contributor is set as “Assignee”, they can start working on it. If you file a PR for an issue that has not been approved for contribution, or while someone else is already working on it, your PR may be closed.
