Well, Jeff, I don't see how it can be anything but a distributed
job. The source itself could be taken care of in an afternoon,
provided that five or so people contribute. They'd have to describe
their changes, and then the rest is up to the translators.

I'm all for that, but until the 26th my time is very limited, as I
have a project at uni to defend. My grammar skills... well, they
should be up to the task. After all, English is not my native
language, so I should stand a fair chance at speaking it well. :-P
