Launchpad itself

Add Project Home Pages?

Asked by theory

Perhaps I missed it, but I don't see where individual projects have customized home pages? I see the project pages, of course, such as https://launchpad.net/drizzle, but not a home page, which would be something like https://drizzle.launchpad.net/ and would feature a completely customized home page for the project, with HTML provided by the project.

This feature is something that has been in SourceForge since forever. I'm not a SF user anymore, but having just build a home page for pgTAP on pgFoundry (http://pgtap.projects.postgresql.org/), I'm nervous about moving the project to LaunchPad if I can't move the home page there, as well.

So is this a feature I've somehow missed, or perhaps is planned to be added to the site?

Thanks,

Theory

Sorry, it's not possible to have a customized home page for a project in Launchpad. What people usually do is to create a home page somewhere else, linking to it from Launchpad. Launchpad is still useful for bug tracking, feature planning, translations, and so on.

There are plans for making it possible to have customized home pages, but we don't know when it will happen.

Cool. I'm marking this as Solved then.
