Bug Description
The launchpad API WADL file is inextricably hidden behind OAuth, meaning one has to use the launchpad API to get at the description of the launchpad API. This makes it very difficult for people who are not using the python launchpadlib (like, someone working in Java) to get started. Heck. even just having a URL I can download it from through my web browser that's protected via LD SSO would be something - since at least then I wouldn't have to inject the extra requests for content-type wadl
But really - it's the description of your API. It should be VERY easy for me to integrate it into the app I'm working on. I spent the morning and chatted with two different people on IRC before I could get a copy.
I have no objection to stopping Launchpad from guarding the service root resource.
