I would like to see such an article in the Magazine focus instead on
the process of becoming involved as a translator, or how to use the
translation tools to contribute.

Tools that explain team progress are less interesting to our end-user
audience than concrete tips or how-to articles.

After preparing it, i am more inclined regarding what you both suggested.
Draft is ready at GDocs [1]  Still let me know where to push it Magazine or CommBlog ;)
