One of the problems for Launchpad, and hence Bazaar, is that projects do
not have a wiki on Launchpad, it has to be somewhere else, ditto the
website -- most projects just have their wiki as their website.
Sourceforge, Tigris, etc. offer colocated wikis making it easy to
provide project documentation directly with the project source and
workflow management.

I know it is trivial to link to other places in Gitorious, BitBucket and
Launchpad, but it is a small little hurdle that is perceived not as a
molehill but as a mountain.   Too often in emails discussing moving from
(CVS|Subversion) to (Bazaar|Mercurial|Git) a question that has a
disproportionate effect on decision making is "Does it support our
wiki?".

If Launchpad were to support wiki material directly with the Bazaar
branch pool I believe this would be a big boost to Bazaar and Launchpad
take up -- at the expense of needing more disc space ;-)
