+Fixing bugs from the issue tracker
+----------------------------------

+Almost all the bugs on the issue tracker have one or more associated
+tags. These are used to indicate the *difficulty* and *nature* of a
+bug. There is not yet a way to indicate priority. An up to date
+summary of issues can be found [here](https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/labels).

+* [enhancement] -- A feature which would be desirable. We recommend
+ you discuss any proposed enhancement on pandoc-discuss before
+ writing code.
+* [bug] -- A problem which needs to be fixed.
+* [minor] -- The fix should only be a couple of lines.
+* [major] -- The fix might require structural changes or in depth knowledge of
+the code base.
+* [reader] -- A request to add a new input format.
+* [writer] -- A request to add a new output format.
+* [docs] -- A discrepency or ambiguity in the documentation.
+* [inprogress] -- Someone is actively working on or planning to work on the
+ ticket.
+* [more discussion needed] -- It is unclear what the correct approach
+ to solving the ticket is. Before starting on tickets such as this it
+ would be advisable to post on the ticket.
+* [more info needed] -- We require more information from a user before
+ we can classify a report properly.
