Bug Description
The Code, Bugs, Blueprints, Translations and Answers home pages for a project all look very different and have different ideas of what sort of stuff should be displayed. Some pages use the short name in the title, some the long one. It is all woefully inconsistent and looks awful.
Some (Translations) state that the project is open source (why!?) and don't let you do anything because the project doesn't have translations enabled.
Bugs shows a very busy but contentless page for projects with no bugs, even if they've specified that they don't actually use Launchpad for bug tracking. Only when I try to report a bug does it tell me (in a very ugly fashion) that the project doesn't use Launchpad for bugtracking. It's all just a big page of zeroes that nobody could possibly be interested in, so why show it at all?
Blueprints shows an enormous chunk of prose (fortunately a rarity on Launchpad), singles out some strange projects as examples, then asks me to register a blueprint, even though the project doesn't use blueprints. It also doesn't stop me from registering one.
Answers is somewhat like Bugs, but it actually lets me ask a question even though I haven't enabled asking of questions. It also has a very strange attention-seeking action in the Actions portlet which I thought didn't exist any more.
The whole thing looks inconsistent and needs a good beuno-bashing.

I'll file bugs with proposed changes to each app's home, and then mark this one as invalid.
Thanks for the report :)
