Launchpad is a platform that helps people and teams work together on free software. It is hosted by Canonical, Ltd, and is open source software, licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3.

This wiki is for Launchpad development. If you're just looking for help using Launchpad (including help with its APIs), please visit the help wiki. But if you're a heavy user of Launchpad who wants to help shape its future, then this is the wiki for you. You might also want to look at the documentation in the Launchpad tree.
