Is there a standard list of criteria that we need to validate before we can, say, "consider" a particular epic for an iteration. I was referring to maybe a checklist or a set of questions that we need to ask ourselves / product owner.
BACKGROUND: I am trying to set up a Agile process which will not be individual dependent and hence the need for a checklist.
Almost by definition, an "epic" is simply a placeholder for some desired functionality. It contains very little detail and so, would not be considered for an iteration.
The "epic" needs to be broken down into smaller product backlog items that do contain enough detail, are therefore estimatable and are small enough that they can be completed within an iteration. (In fact, I usually recommend teams I work with make product backlog items small enough that between 5 and 15 can be taken into a sprint).

following the origins of the agile scrum tests certification, the response of this question :
"scrum master and product owner can be the same"
is different.
When I read the official scrum guide I don't find any text about this assertation.
How to know the very official response of this question ?
What is the response ?
Dealing with release of the certification the response can be different ?
The "official" response per the Scrum Guide may be summarised as: "If it does not exclude it, then it can be done.
But just because you can, doesn't necessarily mean that you should.
While the Product Owner and Scrum Master can indeed be the same person, I strongly discourage it. This is because the two roles have conflicting accountabilities and it is wholly unreasonable to expect one person to have to balance them.

Do I "use a quartile" or do I "use quartiles"? Is "use" even the correct word?
Do I need to be more wordy and say "use quartile summary statistics?"
Should I say "use quartile analysis" or something like that?
EDIT:
We have a large team of reviewers reviewing a large group of applicants. Each applicant will be ranked by each reviewer using a number scale. When completed we will use a quartile to analyze the ranking.
I would say that "use a quartile" is not the best way to write that sentence in the end. I'm not sure what data you are computing quartiles from, and the singular use seems to fly in the face of the plural nature of the rest of the paragraph. I'm going to assume that you compute quartiles over all ratings, and I would rewrite the previous sentence like so:
"When completed, we will compute the rankings' quartiles and use them to analyze the rankings."

Like the title says, is there a way to sort all tasks within swimlanes by priority?
I thought you could do this via the search box up top by putting something like:
order by: priority
however it didn't seem to do anything (I used the auto complete bits so it seemed right)?
As currently we have critical bugs down the bottom and minor cosmetics at the top and we dont want to have to keep manually sorting them for developers to pick up.
This is not quite what you are looking for, but may serve a similar purpose:
Create a board specifically for dealing with priorities -- I call mine "Priority Board".
Set the swimlane type to 'attribute'
Set the "Field to identify swimlane" to "Priority"
Checkmark all values in the "Field Values To Identify Swimlane" drop box, and click 'apply'
Voilà - Drag tasks between swimlanes to set their priority, and you have a nice clear view of the priorities and current state of various tasks -- unfortunately, their swimlanes in the normal view may not be so obvious.
Alternatively, you can set the field for color-coded cards to the 'priority' field. Not quite the same as sorting, but still visually obvious.
Grofit,
It's impossible to sort tasks by priority inside swimlane.
So you can only sort thru all swimlanes.
Also, I would like to recommend you to use following query another time, if you need to sort by priority:
sort by: Priority

Both theses work items seem (at least to me) to be interchangable, with the possible exception that work items may be usable for non-defect changes (such as new functionality).
Is that all there is to it, or is there some more fundamental difference between the two?
A Task is an an over-arching work item type meant to encapsulate a piece of work that does not fall under the umbrellas of the other work items (Defect, Story, Bug Report, and Feature Request, by default). Typically, new functionality would fall under the Feature Request umbrella.
Work items that might be good candidates for Tasks might include:
researching the capabilities of a library you are considering adopting,
building a new test client, or
filling up the soda machine.

How do i come up with a good name for a website or software I am developing. Are there references for naming websites or software?
think of a rude word to use as an acronym, and then fit in the words to make that acronym fit.
SHAFTED was the code name of one internal project I was working on
Shipment
Help
And
Full
Tracking of
Export
Documentation
OTIS was the clean version I used around managers (Order Tracking Information System)
I let my creativity flow and write up 5-10 names.
Then i google them.If one of them is not in use, i take it. :)
I want to be the names unique ;)
Personally? I don't, they're all horrible. But after a couple days of working on the project it's just a group of letters that means "work left to do," regardless of what I called it. :)
Here is an idea from Paul Graham's Why Smart People Have Bad Ideas essay,
[4] I wrote a program to generate all
the combinations of "Web" plus a three
letter word. I learned from this that
most three letter words are bad:
Webpig, Webdog, Webfat, Webzit,
Webfug. But one of them was Webvia; I
swapped them to make Viaweb.
