Hi,

I agree there could still be some improvement, but actually you should
use fedora releases.
The fedora Hub[1] aggregate all its child projects, the one reusing
the Fedora Project teams. This are the most important to us.
Then, you have some releases which should be the entry point for one
to translate resources. Those are actually spread in 4 releases:

* Fedora Documentation[2], which should hold all docs.fpo content
* Fedora Main[3], projects like anaconda, abrt
* Fedora Upstream Projects[4], projects like yum
* Fedora Websites[5], all *.fpo websites

Using the appropriated release, that's easier to find a project.
Of course, if a project has EPEL and Fedora Resource, only the Fedora
one should be on the Fedora-{main,upstream} release. So if you really
care about this project, you need to got to its direct link, to see
all resources available. I have personally not yet found an easy link
to it…

Please, mind that projects under a release are set manually, I've
started to clean things[6], help is highly appreciated.
