The notes here are heavily influenced by an email from sinzui to the launchpad-dev mailing list when jcsackett joined Launchpad.  Parts are lifted entirely from that email, though updated to be current and relevant to Orange Squad.

 * ZPT macros
 * Email processing and templates
 * CSS

 * JS testing frameworks
 * Python testing frameworks
 * Approach to testing, how to test
 * Services

== Components ==

 * app
 * bugs
 * code
 * codehosting
 * registry
 * soyuz
 * translations

(Components are not inclusive. We'll do a tour of each to get layout and basic, heavily used objects down.)
