Overview
One of the great things about Launchpad is that it helps you keep track of all the code associated with a particular project. Even better, it makes it easy to branch someone else's code and then list your line of development right alongside others from the same project.
Let's say you want to add support for a spell checker in the PyRoom text editor. You create a branch of PyRoom's trunk branch, add your code and then upload your new branch to Launchpad.
You're happy with your work and think it should be part of PyRoom's main release. You can tell the PyRoom guys about this directly in Launchpad by registering a merge proposal.
