Most tickets should use defect (bugfix) or enhancement (new feature)
types.  The task type is a kind of miscellaneous thingy.  The default
Trac choices mean:

- type:
  * defect: a bug, anything that does not work as expected
  * enhancement: a new feature or an improvement over an existing one
  * task: everything else, something that needs to be done 

- priority:
  * blocker: basic functionality is not available until this is fixed
  * critical: severe loss of data due to the defect or highly needed enhancement
  * major: defect with major impact / big enhancement
  * minor: defect with minor impact / small enhancement
  * trivial: defect with little or no impact / cosmetic enhancement 

We can customize them if we want, e.g. a new `musings' type may come
handy perhaps.  (although musings may belong to a wiki)

Best regards
