Regards.

There’s no point in me filing a bug that says “Dear lord, put it back.” I have, in fact, been filing a lot of bugs, but even if you fix every bug I file, you can’t bugfix your way to a good design.

To support anonymous about the bogus projects, I find them quite annoying and useless. If you Google for projects that I’m upstream for, the Launchpad shell comes up. It’s nothing but a source of potential confusion for users and distro developers alike.

P.S. Filed a bug asking for one of these to be removed and got no response, so already done that part.

“I must also express my deep disappointment that you (or these so called “registry administrators”) went and started to “register” projects to which you have no control whatsoever. Without the clearly expressed content of the upstream authors. Without any notification to upstream.”

Launchpad acts as both a collaboration platform and a project directory. So, we have projects in Launchpad’s directory that don’t use Launchpad’s project hosting so that people using LP can get information on them. Whenever an upstream project wants to take control of such a project in our directory, we give it to them. We get such requests frequently and so we don’t see it as a problem.

Perhaps we could better distinguish projects that use LP directly and those that are only in the project directory.

“If this is intended to be Ubuntu’s internal bugzilla, please keep your “blueprints” away from my and my colleague’s projects.”

Launchpad is a collaboration and hosting platform for free software projects: so, it’s not just Ubuntu’s bug tracker. If you have any specific complaints, please get in touch - feedback@launchpad.net - or file a bug.
