Nice idea. 0- I don't personally need a wiki at the moment, but I think it is a gaping hole: everybody needs a website for their project so Launchpad is never a total solution until it offers something. People say "I love Launchpad but I also have to also use Sourceforge to have a website" which is perverse. Let's get something simple going, even if we don't promise it's the final solution. My personal wishes as an upstream developer who uses Launchpad: 1- General workflow-oriented polish on the bugs application: for example, using my (popularly acclaimed :-) idea of saying "and 43 closed bugs" when your search matches them <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/malone/+bug/277352>, or showing milestone-targeted bugs in a portlet, or showing the count of affected users, or not losing your search text when going from a simple to an advanced search or have a google-like boolean search language, or do an answers-like "this needs info/here's the info" handoff. In other words, in Bugs, don't add new stuff, just do small fixes to make what's already there more pleasant. 2- Develop the code review feature more: always supply a diff, make it easier to comment on the diff, and make the fact that the code review is happening visible in other places (like bugs). This is moving really well recently so I'm basically saying, don't let up the pressure. 3- More work on the milestone/release/announcement feature: making a release should automatically send mail and go into a feed; we can help upstream developers here a lot by doing this. Make the project as it appears in Launchpad reflect what's important to the project: releases and announcements are important. The (or a) question I think Launchpad developers need in the back of their mind is: suppose a random software user or developer lands on any random Launchpad page. Does it clearly convey to them both what the project would want them to know, and also why Launchpad is cool? -- Martin <http://launchpad.net/~mbp/>
