Re: [jokosher-devel] bzr?

[Laszlo Pandy <laszlok2 gmail com>]

To answer my own question:
Yes, there is _more than one_ purdy timeline view:
https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/inkscape/main
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/inkscape/main/changes

These pages are very nice, and will do the job but occasionally the 
revision view page which shows the diff takes an extraordinary amount of 
time to load. I'd say average is a few seconds, but occasionally it take 
up to 15 seconds. I think this is a general problem with launchpad being 
slow, but our bugs are there right?

So for me there are only two more issues.
1) Where do we put the wiki? (how to convert it?)
2) Does anyone care if their IDE doesn't have a bzr plugin? (If you want 
a GUI try olive-gtk, or the bzr-gtk plugin).
