+Helping out in the issue database
+---------------------------------
-Issues
-------
+If you want to help us triage, you are very welcome to do so!
-The main way to contribute to Flutter that doesn't involve writing code is to go through
-our issues database, providing reproduction steps, reduced test cases, finding duplicates,
-and so forth. See the [Triage](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Triage) page on our
-wiki for details. When commenting on the issues database, please be sure to follow our
-[code of conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
+1. Join the #hackers-triage [chat](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Chat) channel.
+
+2. Read [our code of conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md), which stipulates explicitly
+ that everyone must be gracious, respectful, and professional. If you're helping out
+ with triage, you are representing the Flutter team, and so you want to make sure to
+ make a good impression!
+
+3. Help out as described in our wiki: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Triage
+ You won't be able to add labels at first, so instead start by trying to
+ do the other steps, e.g. trying to reproduce the problem and asking for people to
+ provide enough details that you can reproduce the problem, pointing out duplicates,
+ and so on. Chat on the #hackers-triage channel to let us know what you're up to!
+
+4. Familiarize yourself with our
+ [issue hygiene](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Issue-hygiene) wiki page,
+ which covers the meanings of some important GitHub labels and
+ milestones.
+
+5. Once you've been doing this for a while, someone will invite you to the flutter-hackers
+ team on GitHub and you'll be able to add labels too. See the
+ [contributor access](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Contributor-access) wiki
+ page for details.
