Yes. We will have to agree on that. But it shouldn't be hard.

Agree. We definitely loose out on that. My apologize. But we will be
delivering quite often in the near future. I will finish 40.txt tonight
and
hopefully in two days we can have one.

Yes. I will review all the translated document after the release, making
sure they are correct and consistent with each other. This is _very_
important.

The original plan was to translate all the document. And it is still as
tempting for me as we started the project. However, the amount of work
required is daunting. Unless we have more help from the outside, I am
beginning to fear. We will see what happens after the releases.
Actually, in the recent weeks, I got quite a few (3-4) volunteers who
is interested in picking up some work. But they all misterically
disapeared
after my reply. :(

Absolutely.
