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.'

'''Task''' A task that needs to be fulfilled by a specific person (i.e. create an icon).

'''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.

'''Enhancement''' Request for a new feature or functionality.

'''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.

interested parties to find all bugs in a specific version of Sugar, no matter what program the bug is in. For example, one query can find all Sugar 0.82 bugs, whether they are in sugar-toolkit 0.82.1, browse 100, or sugar-artwork 0.82.

== Sugar Target Milestone ==

 

 

 

== Sugar Target Milestone (Release Team) ==

This field describes the version of Sugar that a bug should be fixed in. This is not a 'it would be nice' field, it is a 'Sugar releases may need to be delayed for this issue' field. It is intended for use by senior-ish bug triagers and the release team. We allow others to nominate 'showstopper' bugs by setting this field, but bugsquadders and release team members review such bugs and unmark ones where the change is not warranted.
