Hi, Thanks Henrik for this clear explanation - I'm forwarding it to launchpad-users so that other projects can have this explanation relatively promptly too.
Launchpad team - it would be cool to have announcements of large changes like this in advance so that other projects can plan around them / incorporate them into their workflow. Any plans for that? Congratulations on the new statuses, which seem to me really helpful (except for todo, which I'm not sure about - it seems to overlap with Confirmed and In Progress). * Henrik Nilsen Omma: > Tomorrow (2007-06-20) the Launchpad team will update the bug tracker > with a new set of bug states to help projects like Ubuntu improve bug > management.
