===== Severity =====

| blocker | Can't even start FF because of this bug | 
| critical | FF crashes | 
| major | More important than an average bug | 
| normal | Just an average bug that needs to be fixed | 
| minor | Less important than an average bug | 
| trivial | Little tweak that should be performed when we have a chance | 
| enhancement | A new feature | 

===== Priority =====

  * A private information. Should be used to prioritize working on own bugs. Manager can use this to increase priority in the context of bugs assigned to a developer.

===== Target Milestone =====

  * Never use target milestone when entering a bug. 
  * Never change the milestone when editing a bug.
  * Use **escalate** flag if the bug needs management attention and should be fixed soon - managements gets email about this.
  * If you have a bug which does not have target milestone, please analyze how important it is and set **escalate** or **postpone** accordingly. Target milestone will be set by management.
  * Bugs with **postpone** requested or approved do not appear on your "My Todo Now" and "My Todo Next", they do appear on workload.

===== Flags =====

  * Point mouse over the flag to see a hint.
  * Use "?" to request a decision.

===== Time Tracking =====

  * Please estimate your bugs, it is no problem if you make wrong estimation.
  * Whenever you are entering a bug, put there your original estimation, even if you have only rough idea. If you do not have a clue, leave it empty.
  * When you accept the bug, you know you are the right person, please change "Hours Left" to your current estimation. This may be the same as original.
  * Once a week (on Friday) or on request or when closing a bug please update "Hours Left" and "Hours Worked". Put there values that you expect by the end of the current day.


===== Patch Delivery =====

  * Create [[patches|patch]] and attach it to the bug for review, find appropriate [[src:modules|reviewer]] (usually module owner) and raise **patch-review** flag.
  * When you patch is accepted and you do not have access to CVS, raise the flag **patch-autocommit**, your patch will be applied (semi-automatically).
