I'm happy to announce you the birth of Conseil 0.0.1 "In The Middle of The Boxes" release, a GNOME application aimed to manage bugs on Launchpad (and other BTS in the future, like bugzilla). This include searching, reading, triaging, modifying, commenting, ...

I'm developing Conseil as part of my Google Summer of Code. This 0.0.1 is far from usable or even useful at all. It's only a preview of a preview of a preview beta release to let people know what I am doing. And this is really harder than expected given that there's NO XML-RPC or whatever in Launchpad ! I'm parsing plain HTML pages and this is ugly[1]. Thank a lot to the people of BeautifulSoup for their wonderful html parser.

At the moment, only bug searching and displaying is more or less available. Bookmarks are not stored between sessions ! I know that you are used to beta releases (thanks web 2.0) but this is NOT. This is pre-alpha-unstable-might-crash-your-system-and-kill-your-dog-preview with nearly nothing to see.

Comments, ideas, mockups and bug reports are welcome ! If you are a regular bug triager on Launchpad, you probably have things you want to see or not in such a software. So drop me a word.

[1] It's even uglier once you've seen the HTML produced by Launchpad. sigh!
