## Contributing and project organization
### Ideas and discussions
The main development repository of CKEditor 5 is located at [https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5](https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5). This is the best place for bringing opinions and contributions. Letting the core team know if they are going in the right or wrong direction is great feedback and will be much appreciated!
### Development
CKEditor 5 is a modular, multi-package, multi-repository project. It consists of several packages that create the editing framework, based on which the feature packages are implemented.
The [ckeditor5](https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5) repository is the place that centralizes the development of CKEditor 5. It bundles different packages into a single place, adding the necessary helper tools for the development workflow, like the builder and the test runner. [Basic information on how to set up the development environment](https://docs.ckeditor.com/ckeditor5/latest/framework/guides/contributing/development-environment.html) can be found in the documentation.
### Reporting issues and feature requests
Each repository handles its issues independently. However, it is recommended to report issues in [this repository](https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/issues) unless you know to which specific repository the issue belongs.
