List of modules

[Michael Bauer]

Hi folks,

After having had a chat with a locale that has just joined I've started 
a draft table of all the modules (focussing on Page 1 to begin with) for 
the benefit of new/non-developer localizers to help them identify 
priorities (from the "normal end user POV). I know there's some guidance 
here and there on the Wiki but to be honest, from our (non-developer 
localizers) POV, it doesn't offer what we need.

For now, I've stuck it in my sandbox on the Gaelic wiki (several 
reasons, while my login seems to work for the Ubuntu Wiki I've never 
edited or created new pages there and I don't seem to have a sandbox, 
plus the page where it's now allows IP editors to edit). If people think 
this would be good on the Ubuntu Wiki, I'm perfectly happy to copy and 
paste that over once it's more or less done. I did consider Google Docs 
or Etherpad but since Ubuntu runs a Wiki, that would mean having to 
rewrite stuff in Wiki markup at some point.

I'd like to invite you to add to the table and improve it. I'm not hung 
up about the naming for the headers, especially the last column we can 
talk about.

What I would be especially grateful for would be input on the "Provides" 
and "Ubuntu Specific" columns. Note the example from P2 I've stuck in 
(gimp20) to show how I'd like to handle that aspect. I'm not trying to 
talk down Launchpad but if a project is better handled upstream, then 
there should be some place that tells the uninitiated that that's the case.

It might also provide a reality check about what it's like using an 
interface not in your language :)
