How to Prioritize
The Project Management Committee has established guidelines for using the priority field in the SF bug tracker. This was discussed in the PMC meeting of 03/06/2007, the notes are here: CC_Meeting_Full_20070306
If you are filling out a report, you can assign priority and group according to the following guidelines:
Resolution
- Remind - In some cases, there is already a patch or code snippet in the bug report that has not yet been applied. In these cases, set the Resolution to "Remind" and these can be looked at first on a bug day.
Priority
- Priority 9 - system stopper - data corruption without workaround
- Priority 7 - security issues
- Priority 5 - not prioritized
- Priority 3 - problems with workarounds - performance problems
- Priority 1 - presentation problems
Group
It's very important also to assign the group for the bug:
- Beta - if you're reporting a bug over a beta functionality
- Core - if you're reporting a bug over a core functionality
- Module specific - if you're reporting affecting just a specific module (not core)
- Report - if you're reporting problems of presentation or reports
Release
From time to time, the bugs will be triaged to re-prioritize them according to these standards.
Priority and group are important, because we will not announce a stable release while there are known priority 9 bugs on core.
