One way would be to explain the statuses more inside Launchpad itself. For example, Kit Blake's idea of giving each status a tooltip in the menu.
Another way would be to simplify the statuses. For example, we could merge Confirmed and Triaged, if there is no useful distinction between them. We could merge Won't Fix and Invalid, if there is no useful distinction between them. We could merge Fix Committed and Fix Released, if there is no useful distinction between them.
(By "useful distinction" I don't mean "status X means this, and status Y means that". I mean a solid reason that people would often want a search to include bugs in status X but not bugs in status Y, or vice versa.)
These approaches are not mutually exclusive. :-) Cheers -- Matthew Paul Thomas http://mpt.net.nz/
