i saw that some things are already listed in the bugtracker and as
blueprints, but they shouldn't really be there.
features and feature-wishes are not bugs and feature-wishes also are not
blueprints. at the moment it looks like everything is mixed together!
to say it in one sentence: the "structure" of the informations on launchpad
are a mess.

there should definitely be something like a "developer guide" which defines
what a bug, a blueprint and a feature-wish is and how to handle them.
something like this ( only an example and very incomplete ;-) ):

Bug:
    If there is a function who don't work, don't work as expected or causes
a crash you should create an entry in the bug-list.

Feature-Wishes:
    if you want a new feature for the project you should add it to the
feature-wish-list.

Process:
    1.  a new feature-wish gets added to the list
    2.  do we really need this feature?
            YES:
                Assign ticket to someone
            NO:
                Close the ticket

Blueprint:
    Blueprints are documentations of processes, functions or architecture.
they can describe how things work at the moment or should work in the
future.

etc. pp.

At the moment, everyone post things somewhere he thinks its alright (me
included) because no one really knows where to put the things in. The answer
"please put the feature-wishlist in the bugtracker" is the best indication
for a bad workflow!

Please take this as a suggestion not a censure.

Daniel
