That's right. That's on the top of my todo-list, and right after it is 
the encoding tutorial.

No. I says it is synced to 1.877 (from the top of my head). This is 
obviouly not correct, as it contains other more recent updates, but at 
least it doesn't state that it is up-to-date.

Given that I really lack time, I must say I'm not gonna do this, since 
all commits I made do state which "extra" revisions got translated. 
Should a new translator pop-up, he/she should just need to read the cvs 
log... but I don't think that's gonna happen before I'm done with the 
full sync.

But other than that, that's a good idea (if one has leisure have time ;-)
