Personally, I think all joe files (configs, syntax) should reside in
$datadir/joe, not $sysconfdir/joe, i.e. in /usr/share/joe, not /etc/joe.

Naturally, I prefer the standard $datadir/locale/ too, because if every
project decides to add dozens of subdirectories for translation, then the
system would end up with thousands of subdirectories (instead of dozens).

Just my opinion, based on the conventions from other common projects.
