As you say, the feeling when someone falls into a project's homepage is "how can I join?". This should not happen in Launchpad, which is made supposedly to solve this right this problem.

I do think that being able to list (i.e. via a filter) to "joinable" project whould help very much, but that is just an idea. Another possibility whould be the self-creation of a group when a project is uploaded. That would solve the antinatural issue of joining a team before joining the project they host. Anyway, this may alter too much the website architecture. Thus I propose the first solution as better.

Im not saying all projects to allow joining, since some people wants Launchpad to share files in a private (but open-sourced, of course) project. But it is needed to improve joining methods when you could potentially join a project. We need to ease quite a lot this feature, which I think there should be one of the main goals of Launchpad.

Any suggestions? Comments?
