Launchpad Plugin for GNOME Do
Launchpad is an important hub for Free Software projects, therefore a first class plugin for Launchpad for GNOME Do would be useful for people who use Launchpad on a regular basis.

I'm working on this right now. My code's at http://
[I've revised some of the strings in my branch: do-plugins-
Take it easy on me, this is my first time using bzr, and I'm not very good with autotools.
Some things to note:
It's not really possible to break down each launchpad category into subcategories like the spec says. At least not without altering gnome-do's core. So what I did is squash the levels of launchpad sections into one long list. For instance, the "bugs" section has 3 different actions specified, I had to make them three altogether separate actions rather than trying to make them sub-actions of a "bugs" action. Doing it the subcategory way would require 4 different panels in gnome-do, which isn't possible.
What is possible is to make them all categories within a master "Launchpad" action. So the way it's working right now is that you have to first type "launchpad" (or enough characters for it to pop up) first, then type the input text (like "nautilus"), then the action you want to perform. This is the *only way* it will work right now.
<Update> Ok, the icons are done, and I trashed my old code tree in favor of putting code in do-plugins, rather than core gnome-do (wish I would've found the plugins branch earlier!) If people want to test, it would be much appreciated! The bzr branch is http://
