In practice, to attract people, you need low hanging *interesting* fruit. Even the poeditor work is only attracting a handful of people and right now the completion % of most languages is actually going down. Also: we really don't want to get 200 BZs each fixing two strings. Summary: so it wasn't going to be done unless I did it, and I'm sure that's the same reasoning for Mark as well when he undertakes something really boring. Rémy
