Hello, everyone.

I've been thinking about the switch to Mercurial and then it popped into my
head the idea of moving the development services (bug tracker, repository,
etc) to Bazaar and Launchpad.net.

I've been using Trac for some years now and I find it a very powerful tool,
but since I'm using Launchpad.net for a software project I started, I doubt
I'll use a different bug/feature tracker (at least voluntarily, in the
short/medium term).

Launchpad is just the best bug and feature tracker (and more) I've ever seen.
I think it's the perfect one for software developers: It lets you spend more
time on what you really want - writing code - instead of managing the
development tools.

But the killer feature I'd like to highlight is that Bazaar+Launchpad is that
it's committed to making free software development *very* pleasant by making
it _really_ easy to collaborate and coordinate the development process.

Among many other things, it's also aware of "groups", so you get many handy
features related to development groups. And its integration with the
distributed VCS Bazaar is just excellent.

If you want to know more, you can take the Launchpad.net tour
(https://launchpad.net/+tour/). And if you want a (biased) comparison of
Bazaar vs Mercurial, here it is: http://bazaar-vcs.org/BzrVsHg

What do you think?

Cheers.
