 (Note: I'm using WooCommerce as an example for this ticket, but it applies
 to all projects. I'm also using German, but it applies to all languages.)

 The [https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/woocommerce
 current project overview] isn't very useful for project maintainers. While
 we don't directly link to the page anywhere except in the breadcrumbs, we
 probably should.

 Before we improve the design, we should think about who this page is for.
 Here's some possible candidates:

 1. Translators. Do they need to see an overview of translations for all
 locales? It's unlikely. [https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/de/default
 /wp-plugins/woocommerce An overview exists for their specific locale.]
 2. Translation Editors. Same question as above and same answer as above.
 3. Project Maintainers. It could be useful for project maintainers (e.g.
 theme/plugin authors) to have an overview of translations for their
 projects. Right now, they have to manually go in to each sub project to
 get an overview of the translation status.

 Let's refocus the project overview page and make it useful to project
 maintainers.

 There's a really, really, really rough mockup attached, but essentially,
 we should do the following:
 1. Bring the top part of the page over from the locale-specific overview,
 including the project description, and the right-floating box with the
 project name and icon.
 2. Move the project actions into the right-floating box, replacing the
 sub-project drop down.
 3. Bring the stats design from the [https://translate.wordpress.org/stats
 stats page], with all locales as the rows and all sub-projects as the
 columns. We should include the colors from it, the sorting, and basically
 everything we can. We should also bring over the Waiting column. :)

 The numbers on the mockup correspond with the following:
 1. Remove the "complete" bar.
 2. Project actions drop down is only for admins. Otherwise, the box only
 contains the project name and icon.
 3. Stats should be full-width, not like this ugly mockup (but still just
 six total columns).
 4. Not that many people can see it, but lets change the color of the
 "Active" tag from a really bright yellow to a WordPress.org green with
 white text.
 5. For those with permissions, we should add the "edit" links to the
 column heading. Right now, these are next to the name.
 6. Not listed, but because we have room, let's use the locale name instead
 of code in the table.
