-Marked as [diamond] on the whiteboard, this label doesn't speak to a bug's difficulty, but certainly speaks to its importance. Diamond bugs are bugs that have been brought up as candidate bugs for the Firefox Priority Backlog meetings, but  aren't assigned to an engineer by the end of the meeting.
+Marked as [diamond] on the whiteboard, this label doesn't speak to a bug's difficulty, but certainly speaks to its importance. Diamond bugs are bugs that have been brought up as candidate bugs in engineering's priority-triage processes - for example, front-end engineering's Firefox Priority Backlog meetings - but aren't assigned to an engineer by the end of the triage process.
 A diamond bug should always have a mentor associated with it. These bugs are an organizational priority, and their successful completion is important; contributors taking on diamond bugs should do their best to communicate their progress frequently in the bug, and anyone mentoring a diamond bug should do their best to turn around a contributor's questions or feedback promptly.
