Bug Description

It would help translators send stuff upstream if packages could be grouped/searched by upstream source.

Such a grouping already exists: https://edge.launchpad.net/gnome lists all packages from Gnome, but there is no way to see this grouping while searching in Ubuntu https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+lang/ro.

If one could see all the gnome packages and not be bothered the rest up to 1600 packages unrelated to gnome, he could:
* decide more easily which packages should be sent upstream,
* check whether the translations from upstream are better than the ones in Ubuntu (Rosetta does not replace translations made in LP with newer ones from upstream, it just shows the new ones as suggestions).

Another important grouping would be the "installed-on-livecd" which would list all packages installed by default on the live cd.
Instead of the way packages are ordered by Rosetta admins to bump the importance of some packages that are installed on the LiveCD and should be translated, users could find this information from this special group.

Some other kinds of groups would make sense too: installed-on-kubuntu-cd, installed-on-xubuntu-cd, etc.

Note that the grouping on https://edge.launchpad.net/gnome is not really related to the grouping in Ubuntu.

We won't have time to work on this for the foreseeable future. If you are interested to lend a hand, we'll be more than happy to guide you on how you can help us. There are several things that need doing:
 1. registering all GNOME projects and making them appear on launchpad.net/gnome
 2. linking their respective trunk series to Karmic sourcepackages
 3. implementing nice pages that get all that data together and display it appropriatelly (note that Launchpad is open source, so you can contribute code as well; start at https://dev.launchpad.net/)

Changed in rosetta:
status: New → Triaged
importance: Undecided → Low

Also note that packages are not ordered by Rosetta admins, but by the Ubuntu Translations Coordinators team: you can help them out as well.

Also, Launchpad does honour upstream translations if the there are no changes from upstream in Ubuntu. It keeps changes where it believes they were done as improvements over the upstream translations.
