+### Github Issue Labels
+
+Our labeling system is
+
+ - **minimalistic:** Labels' usefulness are inversely proportional to how many we have.
+ - **objective:** Labels should be objective enough that any two people would agree on a labeling decision.
+ - **useful:** Labels should track state or capture semantic meaning that would otherwise be hard to search.
+
+We have divided our labels into categories to make them easier to use.
+
+ - platform (purple)
+ - type (blue)
+ - actionable status (red)
+ - non-actionable status (grey)
+ - importance / urgency (green)
+ - topic / project / misc (yellow)
