Thanks, that's useful to know. I should emphasize the "I suspect" in my mail: I was speculating, not stating feature goals. It may well be that when this gets done, it does indeed allow totally arbitrary pages. I just don't know. > LP could even expose some sort of API that could be used to quickly and > easily embed information about the Launchpad project on the site, > though I think it'd be too much to require that it be used. Now, I *am* pretty confident in stating that there would be APIs :-). In fact, there already are: https://help.launchpad.net/API/ (those are Python APIs, but I have to believe that if we offer arbitrary web pages, we're going to offer a way to embed Launchpad functionality in them -- that's the whole point, after all). -Karl
