=== Priority field ===
== Cycle tracking ==
* P1 - Actively being worked on
* Match up with release cycles, no open ended development
* P2 - Planned after finishing higher priority bugs  
* The idea is to pick enough bugs to fill a release cycle
* P5 - Wanted, but no immediate plans to address
* Limits the amount of work people have on their plate
* Each cycle has polish bugs mixed in in addition to normal bug work


=== Priority field as a classification ===
=== Severity field ===
* p1 - serious bugs, show stoppers, release blockers
* S1 - (Catastrophic) Blocks development/testing, may impact more than 25% of users, causes data loss, potential chemspill, and no workaround available
* p2 - general bugs, really want to fix, easy to reproduce
* S2 - (Serious) Major Functionality/product severely impaired and a satisfactory workaround doesn’t exist
* p3 - corner case bugs, low occurrence, hard to reproduce, polish bugs, non-breaking
* S3 - (Normal) Blocks non-critical functionality and a work around exists
* p5 - future, fix optional, community, good first bug
* S4 - (Small/Trivial) minor significance, cosmetic issues, low or no impact to users
