[Sugar-devel] triage meeting

[Gonzalo Odiard]

Well, maybe call iy "normal" or "low" instead of "minor", but we need a way
to separate the tickets we _need_ fix, the tickets we _want_ fix,
and the tickets _would_be_nice_ fix.
We have almost 250 tickets, if we can solve 50 tickets in these 2 months,
is important know what are the best candidates.
