Translation status for "core" Gnome 2.6

[Danilo Segan <danilo gnome org>]

What does everyone think of putting even the proposed modules in  
categories in translation status pages where they would belong if they  
were accepted?

E.g. so far, rhythmbox, gnome-system-tools, gnome-network and gdesklets  
(these reside in Gnome CVS) have been proposed for inclusion in Gnome  
2.6, meaning there's a chance they might get included.

I think that it's better that we add all the potential modules to  
desktop category, so we would avoid the situation we had with 2.4 --  
gnopernicus, gok, and other (not small at all) modules where added to  
desktop category pretty late, and many translators didn't have  
translations available for them.

This way, we can relieve translators of tracking which modules might  
get included, and which surely won't (i.e. they're not proposed at all  
by module maintainers).

This would also present a problem for some translators, if they don't  
have enough resources to do a complete translation, so it would be  
harder for them to decide what should they focus on (but generally,  
it's easy to get that: translate developer-libs, then go on to gnome- 
desktop, gnome-panel, etc.).

Even this can be solved by adding a 'proposals' category, and putting  
these modules there instead of 'desktop' category. I don't think we  
should remove them from their current categories, because they might  
still belong there too (eg. if it's in fifth-toe).

So, anyone thinks this is a good idea?

Carlos, how would this go along with new status pages? ;-)
