Cool!, thanks John! 

For a few days I have been trying to understand launchpad  :P
I' reading some doc's about how to host a branch in launchpad. I suppose this 
is the way to go :) 

[at the bottom I ask some questions about how to interact with launchpad]

I assume it's experimental, because I'm starting a new line of development 
with some ideas/code from the eclipse plugin for darcs, which (in my opinion) 
look's quite well.

I d'nt have any problem with this, actually, I've been digging in the 
launchpad  documentation to do it, but did'nt really understand how to do 
this, thanks!.

About the project name, eclipse-bzr looks ok, and bzr-eclipse it's ok too. 
I'm open to change it (and the java package naming too). 
Maybe the bazaar dev and user community has some good ideas/comment's about 
this.
We can discuss about it in #bzr. what do you think?

Now, I really apreciate some links/help about how to work with launchpad and 
the project.

1) how do you work with feature request/enhancements or ToDo's?
 1.1) I've used Trac, and usually create a ticket for each deature 
request/enhancements. Is the same in launchpad?
 1.2) where can I find documentation about this  or about launchpad "best 
practices"?

2) I need to register as a  member of Bazaar Developers to work in the 
project?

3) if the answer of 1) is yes, are any other things I need to do?

4) I changed the layout of the packages in the new code base. Now it's 
seprated into two "Eclipse project's", one for the core and other for the UI. 
In a few days (or a week), I hope it' going to be ready to be uploaded to the 
main branch. I really appreciate some help abaout how to make this. here are 
my doubt's:
  4.1) put the to "eclipse projects" under the same branch? or create a 
repository and two branch's, one for each "eclipse project"?

I really appreciate some pointers about this issues, mainly because I'm a 
newbie with bazaar, launchpad, and this __kind__ of development.



PD: think that's all, but I'm in the middle of final exams, so I'ts probably i 
forgot something :P.
