[rt-devel] Fwd: [rich+rt@lafferty.ca: [rt-users] Labeled priorities]

[Peter E. Popovich]

Don't laugh, but if you want to avoid re-implementing the wheel, take a look
at keywords.

Keywords aren't linked to priorities, but you get a supported pulldown in
the UI, and don't have to tinker with the db schema. The task of synching
numeric priorities to the keyword label can be done by a crontab (for
prototyping purposes) or scrip (for final implementation).
