All JIRA issues need a priority as it determines what needs to be worked on. This is important because it helps to ensure that the community is focussed and working on the right tasks.
OFBiz has several versions of the code base available as released and unreleased branches, as well as the Trunk and JIRA covers all of them.
Blocking and Critical issues are generally reserved for problems Production systems as they released versions that The highest priority of work the project
| Priority | Current JIRA Definition | Proposed Revised Definition and when to to use this priority |
|---|---|---|
| Blocker | Blocks development and/or testing work, production could not run | A blocking issue an issue with a released OFBiz version that does not run, does not comply with legal requirementscauses the system to crash, is a security vulnerability to users users or exposes the project and Apache Software Foundation to significant risk |
| Critical | Crashes,loss of data, severe memory leak | A critical issue is an issue with a released OFBiz version that causes the system to crash, become unstable, lose data and has no workaround. |

| Minor | Minor loss of function or problem where easy workaround is present | A minor issue is an issue with a released OFBiz version, an unreleased branch or trunk that has isolated impact but workarounds are available |

Issues can be classified using the label. For example an issue can be labelled as 'Beginner' indicating that it is suitable for beginners or newcomers who want to begin contributing to OFBiz, or 'Documentation' for document related tasks.
JIRA allows the creation of new labels automatically if the one you need does not already exist. To refine the use of labels it may be easier to define the ones that we want to use:
Do we have a list of labels that we could usecould use and can we extract the existing list from Jira?
Reporter
