Let's take as example the Solenoid theme for MoinMoin: http://moinmo.in/ThemeMarket/Solenoid.

If I want to register a project for this theme here in Laucnhpad, currently I need a name like moin-solenoid-theme, or just solenoid, etc. However, it would be nice to have buckets to put the projects under. In the example we could have the moinmoin project acting as a bucket, then inside the themes bucket, then the project itself. The URL would become something like http://launchpad.net/moinmoin/themes/solenoid.

Every project would be also a bucket for sub-projects. If you register a project under another project, and one element in the name path is not a project, then it's just a bucket. All this would be just like Moin sugpages themselves. For example, f you go to http://launchpad.net/moinmoin, you'd see the project page itself and a list of contained buckets/sub-projects.

As "themes" would not be a project itself, but just a category of sub-projects, it would be listed as just a bucket in moin project page. When you access http://launchpad.net/moinmoin/themes, then you'd see a bucket page with some descrpition like "here are the moin theme projects". Then Solenoid would be listed there, and clicking in the link would take you to http://launchpad.net/moinmoin/themes/solenoid. The URL is clear, moinmoin/themes/solenoid, rather than raw moin-solenoid-theme or moin.theme.solenoid or just solenoid, etc.
