I think I need some push, :p Talking about users, readers, "users don't read." and they are more interested in finishing their works insteaded of commit bugs. Part of the reason that I do translations is because I want to be more familiar with the documents. If I just "read" them, I can easily ignore any thing important, and I won't do carefully reviews or spellchecks at all. In fact I'm not a good student :) I think there should be another group called re-viewers or so. When I have posted my translation, I have to require (or force) my best friend Storm Lee to do the reviews. I don't expect to receive any review idea from the others. Readers may not have spare time to do reviews or don't want to bother to commit bugs, who knows. -- bbbush ^_^
