[https://launchpad.net/terminator Terminator] is a project dedicated to concurrently displaying multiple terminal sessions as efficiently as possible. Like most projects, Terminator tells the world about its progress through regular announcements.

Using Launchpad, Terminator can publish their announcements in several places:

 * on the project's overview page
 * on a dedicated [https://launchpad.net/terminator/+announcements announcement page for Terminator]
 * on a [https://launchpad.net/+announcements Launchpad-wide announcements page]
 * in Atom feeds both for [http://feeds.launchpad.net/terminator/announcements.atom Terminator's announcements] and [http://feeds.launchpad.net/announcements.atom all Launchpad project announcements].

In effect, Launchpad provides Terminator with a lightweight blog; the most obvious difference being that Launchpad doesn't offer readers the opportunity to leave comments. However, if the Terminator community had a full blog, hosted elsewhere, they could link each announcement they make on Launchpad to the releated blog post.

This helps make Terminator's Launchpad project overview page into a reference for all information about the project.

= Making announcements =

You don't need to do anything special to activate announcements, although you do need to be the project's owner (or member of the owning team) to post. You have the choice of publishing immediately, saving your post as a draft or setting it to publish at a future time and date.

= Next steps =

That's pretty much all there is to know about adding your project to Launchpad.

Many projects choose Launchpad because of its uniquely powerful bug tracker. In the next section of this guide we'll take a look at [:BugTracker:managing your project's bugs in Launchpad].		 #redirect Projects/Announcements
