List of modules

Jared,

That may well do for locales which have large teams. Many locales are 
working off tiny teams, sometimes single individuals. That means you 
have to seriously prioritise your time. The list is sorted according to 
priorities which possibly apply to these larger locales but a) they're 
not explained and b) I have found they don't reflect what I would 
consider the end-user perspective well. For example, to have 
software-properties ranked above nautilus makes very little sense to me.

But most importantly, the list does *not* tell you which of these are 
actual Ubuntu-only modules and which are other projects. It may not 
matter in a language like German where there are lots of translators but 
for a tiny team to spend time on something like Gimp or Chrome to 
eventually discover that someone else may have already done this in the 
upstream project results in a lot of wasted time and effort that smaller 
teams can ill afford.
