These are *awesome* ideas, Alex.

Ideally, LP would be integrated straight into your IDE. So bugs,
branches, answers, blueprints could all be referenced and managed from
within the IDE. "Make a new branch to fix that bug", "Submit this branch
for review", "Merge this branch into that one" could all be driven
directly from inside the IDE.

Any Eclipse guys in the audience?

This is coming. Ubuntu One uses LP accounts for its backend "identity",
so you will be able to chat out of the box with anyone else who uses LP
or U1 (or any other service which uses that for OpenID).

Very cool!

Even cooler :-)
