Just a note. For now I haven't protected this Development Priority field but it's expected only committers are allowed to change it.
Even more I'm conducting surveys with other XWiki developers and XPertNet customer project teams to understand better everyone's needs, representing the community myself during these meetings. I'm updating the jira fields only when we reach a consensus on what's important. To be honest I wasn't even sure (and I'm still unsure) we should make this custom field visible since it's mostly geared towards committers who are part of the XPertNet company (currently the biggest contributor to XWiki - Would love that the community becomes the biggest contributor though ;)). All other committers and contributors are of course free to work on whatever they want. However I thought it would be nice to show to everyone what XPertNet is considering important. The goal is to review all JIRA issues and categorize them into the 3 priorities and then for each version of XE assign "High" priority issues to XPertNet committers. Again, if you think something is not right please comment in a jira issue but please for now don't modify directly the Development Priority field. I'd like to experiment more with it before we can declare that it works and that this is a good way of working. I'll try to configure JIRA so that only committers can modify this field. Let me now if you have questions or any idea on how to improve this.
