[[Anchor(project-group)]] <<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```.

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.

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.

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.
