I think the "replacing" that Dwayne was referring to was more in the way of an alternate view (just as GitHub gives you a "commits" view and a "files" view) but that you won't see both of them at the same time. I think the point was to avoid cluttering up the UI with this recent activity stream on the same screen as the existing files information.
There's definitely a lot of UI/UX design issues in all this - that was part of the reason we wanted to split this aspect of your BZ-IMPORT::comment #3 in bug #2964, which already has a lot of discussion about the placement of a single recent activity.

I think Alex's comment 2 explains the issue.
We will be adding gaols shortly and in my mind that is another way of looking at the translations available.
So now we only have one - Files.
My thinking is that the three views would be:
1) Files - files and directories as we have now 2) Goals - goals are ordered an available when drilled into they mimic the file view 3) Changes - the stream of changes that have happened
So these would be behind tabs.
My fear is that if we place these on our current flat UI we'd run out of space pretty quickly.
Provide a list of completed translations so that a team can easily review changes.
As a first iteration I'm looking for:
1) No extra clutter in the UI. I'm thinking of this as a replacement for the Files view, i.e. like githib you see the changes instead of the files.
2) You should see source and target, user badge and date.
3) If translations are too long, elipsise and show full text in tooltip or when hovering over ...
4) If you click on a unit it should take you to the editing interface where you can edit the translation.
