Launchpad enhancement proposals

Here you'll find links to proposals (LEPs) that people, both within the Canonical Launchpad team and the wider Launchpad community, have made for a way to change Launchpad.

This is good page to use to get a view of what's coming up for Launchpad and what's currently in progress.

You can also add your own LEP by following the Launchpad enhancement proposal process.
