[schooltool-dev] Re: Bug #139470 more important than "wishlist"

[Tom Hoffman]

Well... I have no objection to fixing this ASAP.  I'm a little unsure
about the semantics of bug tracking in this case, however.

I wouldn't want to start calling small feature requests like this high
priority bugs, because we could easily come up with a long list of
them that would dilute the purpose of the bug tracker.  I think if
this is in malone, it has to be called a wishlist bug.  If it was in
Blueprints, it could be a high priority proposal.

This doesn't have any impact on how quickly it should be fixed, I'm
just trying to sort out how all this stuff should be organized.
