[[Anchor(bugtask)]]
'''Bugtask:''' A bug tracked in Launchpad can appear in different projects and releases of a project, enabling different teams to work together on solving that bug. We call each appearance of a bug in each different context a bugtask. A bugtask has associated with it an assignee, an importance and a status. It can be targeted to a project or distribution milestone.

[[Anchor(display-name)]]
'''Display name:''' Projects, teams and individuals in Launchpad are usually referred to by their display name. This is distinct from the ```Name```, which is mostly used in URLs. Example: Mark Shuttleworth's display name is ```Mark Shuttleworth```, whereas his Launchpad name is ```sabdfl```.

[[Anchor(ftbs)]]

'''FTBS:''' a source package failed to build.

[[Anchor(karma)]]
'''Karma:''' Karma is a score that gives a rough idea of a person's current level of work in Launchpad. See our guide to [:YourAccount/Karma:karma] for more.

[[Anchor(name-project)]]
'''Name (project):''' This is the unique short name that Launchpad uses to identify a project. It is used in URLs and when registering a bug against a project. '''Example:''' ```blueprint``` in https://launchpad.net/blueprint for Launchpad's Blueprint Tracker.
Line 2: Line 18:
'''Project group:''' Project group's allow you to group several Launchpad projects together. Each project within a group inherits the group's preferences and decisions around bug tracking, translation and security policy. An example project group is Launchpad itself, with Blueprint, Translations and the Bug Tracker projects within the group. '''Project group:''' Project groups allow you to gather several Launchpad projects together. Each project within a group inherits the group's preferences regarding bug tracking, translation and security policy. An example project group is Mozilla, with Firefox and Thunderbird as projects within the group.

[[Anchor(series)]]
'''Series:''' Series are major lines of development that usually result in a release. For example: Firefox 3 and Firefox 2. In Launchpad, they can have independent translations, bug reports, code and more.
