Indeed. High importance, frustrating to users that read the documentation.

Where should that link to?

I do not see that this page answers the question "Does Launchpad host Bazaar (bzr) branches? How do I set one up? Can it be a branch to which multiple people can commit?"

Something better might be: https://help.launchpad.net/FeatureHighlights/BazaarHosting

mpt's answer would be reasonable, if this were a reasonable link. But the link text should really be "Learn how to use Bazaar with Launchpad."

Actually, since it's not *so* hard maybe the basic instructions of how to push to create an account and push a branch should be included inline in this page.

So just replacing the link to be to https://help.launchpad.net/FeatureHighlights/BazaarHosting is clearly very easy, but is it sufficient? I'm inclined to think it is, and will submit that branch sometime tomorrow unless there are objections :-)

I guess fix committed is the appropriate state until the FAQ-in-the-wiki change gets rolled out as part of 1.1.10.
