Overview

If you want to help organise a group of people around a particular development effort or community, you can create a team.

Most teams are associated with a project but there isn't a formal link between teams and projects. This leaves your team free to work on anything in Launchpad.

To create a team, visit the [https://edge.launchpad.net/people/+newteam new team] page. The process is similar to [registering a user account. This is because teams and people are very similar in Launchpad.

Of course, there are some differences. When you first register a team, keep an eye out for:

• subscription policies: whether you want the team open to anyone or you'd prefer more control
• subscription period: how long before someone's membership expires (if at all)
• membership renewals: when someone's subscription expires, set how they can renew it.

You can change any of these details later on by clicking Change details on your team's overview page.

Branding your team

To make it easier to identify pages associated with your team, you can upload three images:

• Icon: this shows up in listings wherever your team's name is mentioned - e.g. on a team member's profile. Must be 14x14 pixels and no more than 5KB.

• Logo: appears in the top-left of pages owned by the team. Must be 64x64 and no more than 50KB.

• Mugshot: appears on the team's profile page. Must be 192x192 pixels and no more than 100KB.

Managing membership requests

Chosing a membership policy

Automatic membership expiry

If there isn't already a Launchpad team to deal with

• There are a few things you should consider first:

Instructional text

Where appropriate, use step by step instructions:

Step 1: Give concise and unambiguous instructions.

Step 2: Try not to state the obvious, unless you're writing for a novice user.

Note: Highlight important information with a note.

Step 3: Use a well cropped screen shot if it will help orient the reader. Don't let the screen shot replace instructional text: not everyone can see your screen shot. Don't worry about borders or annotation for small, cropped screen shots such as this.

Warning: If you're about to tell the reader to delete or otherwise change something that would be hard to restore, warn them.

Full screen shots

Some screen shots will be better placed to the right of your text. As they're not placed directly below the text that they support, use a border and short description.
