Oh, do I gotta? I hoped that I left that behind at OpenOffice.org ...

Not much to begin with ... just create a mailing list:
pgsql-advocacy-lang(at)postgresql(dot)org
... all translators will subscribe to that mailing list, and we'll post
announcements of new website text there.

Unless you can come up with a more sophisticated web-based system, in
which users can browse items needing to be translated, "check them
out", download them, and the upload + update them.

Also, BTW, we'd better have an press release for version 7.3. MySQL is
plowing us under, mainly because they have a marketing dept and we
don't ... yet. They're getting accolades for implementing features
that we had 2 years ago. We need to toot our own horn ... loud.
