[Kss-devel] launchpad setup for kissbooth

[Balazs Ree]

Kissbooth is now on Launchpad. http://launchpad.net/kissbooth

The launchpad team has kindly finished the setup of our registration for 
the "kissbooth" project as we requested. "Kissbooth" will play a role for 
kss as does the collective for Plone: it will enable the community 
development of kss plugins here, and experimental extensions for the kss 
core as well. Access is granted to a wide developer community.

We already started to use it after the plone.app.kss sprint in Naples,

... and now we have in Launchpad:

- a super-project "kissbooth"

- a team "kissbooth"

Remember, a team and a project are separate entities in Launchpad. You 
want to use both the team and the project group to share your code with 
the community.

If you want to register your project as part of "kissbooth", you need to

- register an account on Launchpad, and sign up to be a member of
  the team "kissbooth". We will approve you soon.

- register your project on Launchpad with the name you prefer
  (we suggest the dotted import name of the python component,
  and in case of general purpose kss plugins, you can also use
  the namespace kss.plugin.yourplugin)

- make this project as part of the "kissbooth" project group, and

- (optionally) make the Owner of the project the "kissbooth" team.

This will make sure that all kissbooth members have access to the project 
in the future.

- Then: go ahead defining your project details, and create branches,
  blueprints as you wish... You can use the launchpad servers to store 
  bzr branches for your project as well.

We encourage the use of the Bazaaz repository and use Launchpad for 
physical storage of the branches. But you can also decide to host your 
repository elsewhere - even in svn if you like, and just use Launchpad 
for project management.

For the kss core development, we also set up the project group "kss" and 
the team "kssteam". We will gradually move project management of the kss 
core development to here, but we will still keep the core components in 
the CodeSpeak svn repository, and continue using our website 
http://kssproject.org as well.

Long live KSS!
