I don't think the separation was that clear: we had many end users who had access to the source code but chose to file bugs rather than patches - all of Canonical. And we still have that separation today: there are many folk who for their own reasons don't want to develop Launchpad, they just want to use it. I do agree that the help.launchpad.net site is particularly focused on end users, but I don't think casual scripters will be helped by searching on a site that includes things like style guides, development processes and so on. Perhaps making sure all the API help is under /API/, or perhaps a help.api.launchpad.net site dedicated to the API ? -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
