Greetings, Launchpadders, The Launchpad Bugs team needs your help! We've recently developed Launchpad plugins for Trac and Bugzilla. The plugins allow bidirectional communication between Launchpad and the remote bug trackers that have them installed, and we need help testing them. That's where you come in. If you know of any bug tracker whose administrators may be interested in installing the plugin for interoperating with Launchpad - or indeed if you run such a bug tracker yourself - please email us at feedback@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and let us know. You can find details on how to install the plugins and what you need to do to get Launchpad to work with your bugtracker on the Launchpad Help wiki: For Bugzilla: http://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/BugzillaPlugin For Trac: http://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/TracPlugin Installing one of the plugins means that: * Launchpad will be able to forward bugs to upstream bug trackers that have the plugin installed. Users of those bug trackers won't have to check Launchpad for bugs registered against their project; they'll be forwarded straight to the upstream tracker. * If a bug watch is created against an upstream bug, Launchpad will tell the upstream bug tracker which Launchpad bug is watching it. This means that not only is there a link in Launchpad to the upstream bug, but there's also a link in the upstream bug tracker to the Launchpad bug. * Launchpad will be able to import comments from upstream bugs which are being watched in Launchpad. If you register a bug watch against an upstream bug you'll be able to read the conversation about that bug on Launchpad, including the comments that are made on the upstream bug tracker. * Launchpad will be able to push comments to upstream bugs which are linked to a Launchpad bug, so if you add a comment on Launchpad in reply to a comment which was imported from an upstream bug tracker, the comment will automatically be added to the conversation on the upstream bug tracker, too. This means that users of both Launchpad and the upstream tracker can view the whole conversation about the bug without leaving their preferred environments.
