Overview

This page contains many mini-specs for new guides for help.launchpad.net.

• Overview: A Launchpad project where we can register blueprints for new support materials and, if appropriate, users can file bugs against existing documentation.
• Goal/Deliverables: A project in Launchpad, several blueprints linked to mini-specs and a public announcement.
• Full spec: none
• Depends on: n/a

We will know we are ready to announce the project when we have registered it in Launchpad and have enough blueprints to cover the basics of Launchpad.

• Overview: A high level overview of Launchpad and its applications, intended as a jumping-off point for other documentation.
• Goal/Deliverables: An article at help.launchpad.net and a corresponding link on the help home page.
• Full spec: none
• Depends on: bug-tracker-overview, code-hosting-overview, translations-overview, blueprint-tracker-overview, answer-tracker-overview

This guide will be ready for review when it has:

• an overview description of Launchpad and its role in the lifecycle of the projects that use it
• a description of how Launchpad handles collaboration and its suitability for the free software development process and community
• an overview of each of Launchpad's generally available applications (i.e. not Soyuz)

• a high-level description of how Launchpad interacts with Bazaar.
