In defense of Launchpad, haha: It may not be as pretty, but is tightly integrated with Ubuntu, open source, and run by Canonical. I've always expected support for CBLC/CBDT color format fonts in Linux before SVGinOT. It's quicker to implement since it just uses bitmaps, no SVG renderer needed. SVG

Because most open source projects these days use GitHub. A lot of users have a GitHub account, so it's easy for them to report issues on a GitHub issue tracker for various projects with a single account. GitHub also is better designed and more familiar than Launchpad IMHO. What's also nice is th
