Quick rants about your BTS

The filebug should have a preview button.

You should support markdown (also a debian package) for marking up the
description. They're horribly ugly atm.

You should make it obvious how to report a bug on this BTS. Is it
launchpad? Is it malone? Is it the Ubuntu BTS? Make up your minds!

Is there a source package for malone? I couldn't find it. How do I
report bugs about your BTS with your BTS?

Searching should be better integrated. Top of every page. It's hopeless
right now.

Is there a mailing list? https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ I
can't find a malone one. Ok, Tollef pointed me here.

When I click subscribe on the right menu, I expect to be subscribed. Not
to click on a subscribe confirmation screen.

Use webpy.org python-webpy package

This textarea doesn't render very well for me. Make it like infogami.com
has it. http://ubuntu.infogami.com/_edit/

About support requests. Is that going to encompass derivs? For example a
deriv by a company called Acme. Can support requests initially be
handled by them, or Launchpad only for Ubuntu/Canonical?

Make it easy to file lots of bugs on the same page.

>From https://launchpad.net/faq "Launchpad is a large, monolithic, web
application." that's a sick joke right? Small, distributed, RESTful Web
apps are today's mantra. 

Where do I go to bitch about the wiki.ubuntu.com?

Is there a page for searching these mailing lists?

Page design is far too cluttered. e.g. https://launchpad.net/
Do I really want to search for "products"? Wtf.

That code of conduct stuff is impressive, but *really* dorky. I can't
believe you're serious about that. I find it condescending.

Where is the license?

Best wishes,
