Getting data in and *out* is in focus for the next 6 months. We want to
lower the barrier to import a project, which includes bugs and code. We
want to make it very easy to get the data out of Launchpad so that
upstreams can benefit from Launchpad.

Except for the fact you cannot export a complete project. A lot of work
is need to get incomplete data.
