- Bug report: you believe you found a problem in Falco and you want to discuss and get it fixed,
creating an issue with the **bug report template** is the best way to do so.
- Enhancement: any kind of new feature need to be discussed in this kind of issue, do you want a new rule or a new feature? This is the kind of issue you want to open. Be very good at explaining your intent, it's always important that others can understand what you mean in order to discuss, be open and collaborative in letting others help you getting this done!

### Triage issues
We need help in categorizing issues. Thus any help is welcomed!
When you triage an issue, you:
* assess whether it has merit or not
* quickly close it by correctly answering a question
* point the reporter to a resource answering the issue
* tag it via labels, projects, or milestones
* take ownership submitting a PR for it, at your discretion
