Launchpad News

Mentoring - a new feature to help train new community members - is the big news from the Launchpad team this week.

Launchpad's new mentoring framework gives you the tools to:

* Offer to mentor people who want to fix a bug or implement a blueprint. * Provide a list of items that are relevant to your project and for which mentorship is available. * Provide a list of items that would be a good starting point for someone who wants to join one of your teams. * See what mentorship offers individuals are currently making.

Mentorship requires no admin as it's entirely based on commitments made by individual team members. It's also available even if you use a bug tracker other than Launchpad.

You can find out more at: https://help.launchpad.net/MentoringManagement

The Launchpad team have also made three code release recently. Highlights include:

* Launchpad 1.0 is now out of beta. * Bug tracker: bug comments are now included in searches and you can mark bugs as

  • duplicates via the email interface.

* Code hosting: external branches are now mirrored every six hours. * Translations: a bug that reset the "needs review" flag has been fixed. * Answer Tracker: you can now easily see all support requests made in languages

  • for which your project has no support contacts.

Read more in the [https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/launchpad-users/2007-May/001392.html full release notes].

As ever, we'd love to have you in the Launchpad Beta Testers team. [https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-beta-testers/+members Sign up today]!
