I won't be too picky about requiring this for the release.  We can
change the NEWS file to read something like, see the i18n/* files for
examples.

When you're ready to do doc, you can send me patches and I can go over
them and correct your English and commit them, if that's what you mean,
though your English is pretty good.  I've certainly seen much worse, and
in open source manuals.  :)

Not, "maid", in this sense.  It's "made".  Maids clean up after people.
:)  The pronunciation is the same.

If it's not something a non-developer would touch, I wouldn't worry
about it.  Implementation details should be left out of the NEWS file.
The NEWS file is intended for users, not developers.

As far as other developers are concerned, there aren't many of us and
the mailing list, the ChangeLog, and CVS commands will probably do the
trick.  If you really think those sources won't be sufficient, you could
always create a DEVELOPER-NEWS file or the like.
