Reorganizing u/k/x/buntu docs translations

Hi,
I have imported the remaining games and hardware templates from
Xubuntu-docs.
I was thinking that we can improve the way we handle ubuntu docs
translations for the Ubuntu Karmic release.
Right now all u/k/x/edu/buntu-docs have the same priority in Rosetta.
Maybe this is a good setting, but it leads to a lot of confusion.
There is no way to group ubuntu-docs or kubuntu-docs, as they are now
interlaced.
For example on the Ubuntu Romanian page [1] I see 3 templates named
"add-applications" and there are many other duplicate templates names.
Even thou they have the same name, they are not the same template.
For example, for new translators working on translating xubuntu-docs,
finding all xubuntu docs templates is a big challenge.
I know that we have a page listing all templates for xubuntu docs, but
that page is not easy to reach for new translators.
To improve the current state I think we should make 2 changes:
1 - Change templates priority for u/k/x/edu/buntu docs groups.
For example
ubuntu-docs 110,
kubuntu-docs 109,
xubuntu-docs 108,
edubuntu-docs 107
2 - Rename templates to include the docs groups
For example:
add-applications -> ubuntu-doc-add-applications
add-applications -> kubuntu-doc-add-applications
Renaming or changing the priority number will not change the way
ubuntu-docs packages are generated.
It's just the presentations layer for the translations.
---------
If you think these changes will improve the u/k/x/edu/buntu docs
translations process, I am ready to make them happen :)
What do you think ? Will those changes help translators in dealing with
u/k/x/edu/buntu-docs?
Cheers,
Adi
