Extended descriptions

About Bazaar

Bazaar can play a key role in helping you get from "great idea" to functional code that's running in the hands of end users. It is used by top players in open source development including MySQL, Ubuntu and Squid. An official GNU project available under the GPL v2 or later, Bazaar can be extended and embedded into your system.
