[Sparkle] LaunchPad + Bazaar vs. Lighthouse + Git[Hub]

Hi,

I am using Launchpad for some projects, and it's really good, the
localisation interface is really nice and the features to organise
collaborations on new features are very interesting.
However, the localisation is made for taking in and outputing gettext
files. And there is an extra semi automatic step to convert them
to/from cocoa string files. You can find some scripts to do it around
on the net (Adium has one I think).

Git is cool, but it's a bit confusing, whereas bazaar has the same cool
concepts, but it easier to come to (and it can import/merge from git
commits etc with no problem). I don't argue about git vs svn, that's
settled, but in
git vs bzr, I tried both and found bzr a lot better.

Then, I don't know lightghouse, but I don't see very interesting
features and shininess is not really what u should be looking for in a
development support tool ;)

Pierre
