Why it needs a home page:
- Launchpad does not directly provide downloads, it only mirrors existing downloads;
- Launchpad has no Wiki;
- Launchpad does not allow me to host documentation.
- Documentation is hosted in the google project. I upload it via subversion (slightly painful but doable), and users can browse the svn http url directly to view the documentation online;
- Wiki pages are always useful and google project has a good wiki system;
- Downloads in google project.. currently no downloads, but I'll put them up some other day;
- Bug tracking and code hosting are still handled by launchpad, as usual. Thankfully google project allows me to override the Source and Issues tabs, to redirect users to launchpad instead.
