That should work for me.  The only thing we need to do ASAP is  
prototype the new "unstable" or "beta" section of the website and see  
if we can get a few translations of the most critical paragraphs.

I haven't been packaging 1.3.0 with any translations at all....should I?

My impression is that this is a preview release and will undergo a  
lot of flux.  I was thinking of targeting 1.3.1 or 1.3.2 for  
translations.  I also think we should require new translations, and  
not use fuzzy strings from 1.2.x - they're likely to be wrong.
