“Launchpad is a set of integrated tools that support
collaboration and community formation. These include a team
management tool, a bug tracker, code hosting, translations, a
blueprint tracker, and an answer tracker.“Launchpad went public in late 2007. With it, developers have
been able to host and share code using its integrated Bazaar
version control system. Besides all the usual development goodies
that you get with similar projects such as SourceForge Launchpad
enables developers to, as Canonical puts it, “support each other’s
efforts across different project hosting services – essentially
making Launchpad a social network with a purpose.””
