ACK ... but that ain't a "bumper sticker" -like discussion anyway ;)

Yes... I already go this information through private email, but thanks
anyway. Will need a few more hours to check and digest all that.

We have setup a list in order to discuss "forges and associate tools"
interoperability issues
(http://wiki.planetforge.org/index.php/Discussions_mailing_list ) which
aims at discussing these issues with interested parties.

You may be much welcome there for things that go beyond the very case of
LP... yeah, yet another list ;). For the records, Barry Warsaw already
discusses Mailman and interop issues with LP and forges there, with a
few FusionForge and Codendi hackers, already.

OK... but at least if what you do is compatible somehow to semantic web,
it may help others build new applications on top of your giant
shoulders ;)

So here's my next bullets :

* what tools (taht you're aware of) are plugged to the LaunchPad REST
interfaces (bugtracker one, to start with) ?

I heard about bughugger, and am thinking of reportbug maybe (not sure it
is used on Ubuntu) ?

Of course, bts-link would certainly be another one...

* Any users in need of Mylyn interface to LP tracker, in your opinion ?

Looking forward to discussing that further too (and IRL at the LSM2010
maybe ;)

Best regards,
