This field describes the impact of a bug on a user.
This field describes the impact of a bug on a user.
'''Blocker''' Blocks development and/or testing work.
'''Blocker''' Blocks development and/or testing work
'''Critical''' Crashes, causes loss of data, or is a severe memory leak

== Priority (Maintainers field, Default=Unspecified by Maintainer) ==
This field describes the importance and order in which a bug should be fixed. This field is ''utilized by hackers'' to prioritize their work to be done. While each term has a description, it is important to note that priority is highly subjective, and bugs can move up or down the priority scale based on subjective questions like 'would we be embarrassed to release the software with this bug.'
'''Immediate''' This bug blocks development or testing work and should be fixed ASAP, or is a security issue in a released version of the software.
'''Urgent''' This bug blocks usability of a large portion of the product, and really should be fixed before the next planned release.
'''High''' Seriously broken, but not as high impact. Should be fixed before next major release. Frequently includes cosmetic bugs of particularly high visibility, regressions from functionality provided in previous releases, and more minor bugs that are frequently reported.
'''Normal''' Either a fairly straightforward workaround exists or the functionality is not very important and/or not frequently used.
'''Low''' Just not all that important. Rarely used in Sugar.
'''Unspecified by Maintainer''' This is a field for the maintainer only.

'''Urgent''' This bug blocks usability of a large portion of the product, and
'''Unspecified''' This bug is in a module that is not in Sugar, or in an unspecified version of Sugar.

This field describes the version of GNOME that a bug should be fixed in.
