Hi OO, I hope you don't mind me taking this to the list, as it might be of general interest.

When you edit an issue, you see below the "Labels" field the text >> For purposes of keeping the tag space clean, PLEASE ONLY USE APPROVED >> TAGS. so I guess we should not invent new label names without prior approval. Unfortunately, this advice isn't visible in the normal (non-Edit) view of the issue, although that too allows to add or remove labels. If I remember correctly (can't find the transcript right now), I once asked Oz' at an OH, whether there was a public list of approved labels and their meanings. I think Oz said there wasn't and that we should not add labels if we weren't sure of their meaning. Googling, I found a Daily Scrum transcript mentioning the needs-design label <https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Snowstorm_Daily_Scrum_Archive/02072011#Grumpity_ProductEngine> from which it seems like I, too, have used that label wrongly (as the issue isn't approved, yet), so I've removed that label again. Cheers, Boroondas
