I've to agree. On one side it makes the initial entry step very easy, but t=

mean an rapid drop in quality, since everyone is doing something for=20
him/herself without caring about consistency. Also those people tend to do =
a=20
few strings and then lose interest and quit.

Someone who's really interested in helping and goes through all the=20
introducing steps (reading, reading and reading), after he/she's gone throu=
gh=20
all these painful* reading he/she it is more likely to stay with the=20
project.**



We could of course try to merge Rosetta-strings with KDE-strings, if there'=
s=20
no upstream translation available. But it's pretty easy to just remove a=20
fuzzy switch and skip to the next message....
