launchpad is not free software, correct? [1][2]
As far as I know, Launchpad is a server, not a software release, so
that question is not directly relevant. The real question about
Launchpad is whether we would want to specifically encourage its use
in this way. I don't see a reason to do that. Indeed, emacswiki.org
would be the natural first choice of site to do that with.
The key issue with bill-board for me is bazaar, the
experience with it, it's easy-going.
AFAIK emacswiki don't offer that.
At
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/WikiQuestions
I read:
,----
| Question: Can I retrieve parts of EmacsWiki with a network distributed VersionControl
system like DaRcs, SubVersion or CVS?
|
| Answer: Unfortunately, no.
`----
Bill-board idea comes from the reliability of
versions-control in combination with that easy access
and installing, launchpad provides.
It would be just a few keystrokes to do it.
It is not clear to me that this is desirable at all -- it raises
complex issues.
Some questions may remain, yes.
However, there is another pro: as it's reflected to use
bazaar as vc for emacs, it might help to play
with before in just the way, a bill-board may offer.
Thanks to all BTW
