 # Contributing
-The creator of what we use for project management has written an [onboarding article](https://medium.com/@novemberninerniner/the-lifetime-of-an-issue-feature-request-f0ae1210e8c2)(link) for new users, that you can read for a quick rundown. The blueprint for this structuring sytem  of the [S.O.S.A.S.A. ideology](http://https://medium.com/@novemberninerniner/structuring-your-open-source-project-for-the-purposes-of-accessibility-social-activism-6b1d7fe6c97d)(link) of project management is another deeper read. It's not as scary as it sounds, and just means we use a Kanban board (think trello). You do not need to read the SOSASA article, just the onboarding one, to get into it.
+We use a modified kanban methodology called SOSASA (Structuring your project for the purposes Of Social Activism and Accessibility) for contributions. You can read about [our adaptation of SOSASA here (link)](sosasa-kanban.md), and creator hoodie aida kitten's complete onboarding article and [detailed SOSASA description here (link)](https://medium.com/@novemberninerniner/the-lifetime-of-an-issue-feature-request-f0ae1210e8c2).
 
-If you'd like to contribute, please read the above and login to the [kanban documentation board](https://kanban.lollipop.holdmybeer.solutions/project/admin-lollipop-documentation/kanban)(link) to read up and comment on anything you can glance at, or and setup a pull request if you've got a contribution to an existing issue, in the appropriate repo under this [list](https://git.lollipop.holdmybeer.solutions/explore/repos)(link).
