For the Norwegian Nynorsk team, we don=E2=80=99t need the *current* struc=
ture,=20
but we would really prefer *some* structure, e.g. a somewhat small=20
number folders with a bunch of files in each instead of a large number=20
of folders with only a single file in each.

I=E2=80=99m not sure what your proposals a) and b) really entails. For ex=
ample,=20
how would the current =E2=80=98kde-workspace=E2=80=99 module look?

And how would the =E2=80=98playground-*=E2=80=99 modules be handled? They=
=E2=80=99re mostly=20
filled with junk (lots of stuff that haven=E2=80=99t been updated for 5+ =
years,=20
don=E2=80=99t compile, and never will be revived), and do not warrant=20
translations. Having them mixed in with the other applications and=20
libraries (which *do* =E2=80=98deserve=E2=80=99 translations) would be ve=
ry confusing.

The same is, at least partially, true for the =E2=80=98kdereview=E2=80=99=
 module. Even=20
though this was meant as a temporary holding place, with a two week=20
review period

   https://community.kde.org/Policies/Application_Lifecycle

it currently hold several applications that haven=E2=80=99t been updated =
for=20
years (the oldest template files were generated in 2013). Having these=20
mixed in with regular applications makes the translators work filtering=20
them out harder. (And we cannot just look at the POT generation dates,=20
as there are several =E2=80=98normal=E2=80=99 applications (and especiall=
y .desktop=20
files) that haven=E2=80=99t seen string changes for years.)
