On this point - they aren't in any teams roadmap, and they are, as I say, tricky. Tricky things require dedicated hacking time to absorb the problem, internalise, model and come up with solutions. I predict that until someone puts aside, oh, a week, we won't get any traction on scripts with participations. >> For now, I'm going to stay mum on which option I think has the best >> cost/reward tradeoff for us at the moment, and I'm sure I've missed a >> brilliant idea that will obsolete all of these :) >> >> I await your suggestions! > > This isn't of huge importance compared to the other things already > covered, but I'd love Launchpad to play nicer with Postgres in that > several instances of Launchpad as well as other apps could co-exist on > top of the one Postgres instance.

It doesn't define a unique test fixture template, but that would be easy to add once its landed. -Rob _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
