vague unease about reachability

 

As the subject says, right now this is a vague uneasiness I have. I could be hallucinating or just not finding what I'm looking for, but I suspect that some of our pages are no longer reachable by normal navigation. I think some pages are only accessible via url hacking.

Case in point: I'm QA'ing Curtis's UI 3.0 update to the +driver page. I can enter http://launchpad.dev/applets/+driver and see that the page is nicely formatted.

But what if I start from http://launchpad.dev/applets? How do I get to the +driver page? There appears to be no link on the project index page, but I do see "Change details" (squirreled away at the bottom of the page, but that's a problem for a later email) so I click on that. No +driver link there either, but there is a "Change people link" so I click on that.

Nothing there either, except now I have a nice AJAX-y "Choose..." link next to the Driver field. That's great, I can change the driver for the project, but it makes me pretty suspicious that the +driver page is an orphan.

I've had this feeling before, as I've been converting pages to UI 3.0, but I always thought I was just seeing things. Now maybe I'm not so sure.
