The descriptions for Priority-medium and Priority-Low are a bit  
vague, Priority-Postponed is understandable, if one knows the history  
of development on things like Ancient Notation/MIDI, but  
understanding the difference between these things, especially medium  
and low, would be very helpful. Also, currently, the link to bug  
reports isn't working. And 7.6 Finding the cause of a regression may  
be a job that a non-programmer can do, but it should be notated that  
one needs to understand git, which most non-programmers are probably  
not familiar with.
