Launchpad is a suite of tools that help people and teams to work together on free software. It is hosted at Launchpad.net by Canonical, Ltd, and it is open source itself, licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3

This wiki is about the development of Launchpad. If you're just looking for help using Launchpad (including help with its APIs) please visit the help wiki.

But if you're a heavy user of Launchpad who wants to help shape its future -- e.g. an Ubuntu Core Dev, MOTU, or Launchpad developer -- then this is the wiki for you.

=== ForbiddenAttribute ===
There are several possible causes:
 * The attribute does not exist.  (This would normally cause an AttributeError.)
 * The attribute is present in the database class, but not in the relevant interface
 class.
 * The attribute is not named in the relevant ZCML file.  This does not apply if
 the entire interface is allowed.
 * There ''is'' no corresponding interface.

This is not the same as Unauthorized.  Unauthorized means that an authorization regime has been properly set up, but the current user is not authorized.
