# Triaging Mojaloop OSS bugs

# Raising a bug / issue

If there is a bug or issue in general an issue is logged as a bug or feature request on the project (opens new window) repository and in some cases linked to an issue logged on the repository for that specific component.

There is a bug template (opens new window) that can be used and encourages use of details such as versions, expected results and other details, which help with triage and reproducing the issue.

# Once a bug is logged

1. Typically, the bug is initially triaged in the #ml-oss-bug-triage (opens new window) public channel on Mojaloop Slack
2. For Security and other sensitive issues, the bug is triaged on a private channel with current contributors, before information is made public at an appropriate time.
3. During bug triage, priority and severity are assigned to the bug after majority consensus usually
4. Based on the priority and severity the bug is taken up by the Core team or other contributors based on a collaborative effort.
5. Once it is taken up, conversation and updates happen on the slack channl, but mostly on the issue itself.

2. However, to start with, the voting rights are given to current contributors and stakeholders.
