Hi Kévin,

It's not clear to me what types of projects these are. If they are
projects which Fedora is not upstream for but are translated through
FTP, then maybe fedora-external is a good name. Stuff which are not
being translated because they are obsolete could be simply removed.
Ok, the fact are:
How one translator find something to translate? By browsing Fedora
releases (-docs, -websites, -main, -upstream). I don't think that
translators have to got to the "All resources" page[1], there are too
much projects there.
The problem about projects sourcing the Fedora Project Hub, is:
- An empty project which is not under any release could one day become
active. Ex with[2]. Then, maintainers would have to tell us that they
have updated their project and ask to join the fedora-docs release.
But we can't ask them to remember, they won't. Then the project would
be active and up to date but nobody would know about it.
- An obsolete project should be removed from the release. If we don't
track it, the above point is true, we won't know when it is going to
be alive again.
But then we will loose the difference between -uptream and -main… It
is not the best solution.
I have just came with a clever suggestion:
Keeping all projects under their respective release, and setting the
"under translation" flag to obsoleted projects. Then, we should have a
filter on the release page to filter out projects not currently under
translations (the statistics should also care about that, actually we
could see 12% translated when in fact 100% of the up to date resources
are translated).
Would it be possible? Do you think of an actual transifex feature that
could be used in that way?
