Translation is a rich ground for argument anyway.
Thats why the commit group is invite only, anyone can join docs, but
in order to go messing with git repos you have to be a another group.
That group is invite only because only people who have shown to be
trust worthy should be able to push, others can pull and submit
patches.

I'm agree with keeping the barrier to let people messing with repos
should be stay reasonably up, but i'd like a more available training
(i'm not saying having just "the fine manual") to help more
collaborators "getting things done" in a succesfull way. This is the
idea i've started to talk with some people about a "Fedora School"
(something using Moodle or another LMS) for collaborators and more
users wanting to learn with some real-people guidance how to use free
software, how to contribute to free software / open source.
In counterpart, i think the first step to "taking a look" at tasks
lists should be very easy to take. Microblog, mylyn-eclipse, whatever
you like. Any system you like to helping people to helping us.
