Ubuntu Server papercuts project overview

Unless I am missing some feature of launchpad, I think the project option 
may be better.  There is a simple URL to remember as well as the ability 
to join the project team.  When/If one joins, it will show up on a user's 
home page for gurther easy access.  I just now had some trouble attempting 
to find the tags on a reported bug, for they are not obviously places in 
the reports.

I do not see anywhere (like I said, I may be missing out on a feature) the 
ability to "subscribe" to tags.

My two cents, not as a developer, but one who wishes to assist in bug 
triage/resolution.

I would really like you to be on my side,
but the side you show me isn't what I had in mind.
