Let's not just stop there. This is a perfect opportunity to tweak text 
that makes little or no sense, redundant text, verbose text, boring text, 
annoying text. Let no word go unexamined. We need to go through every page 
and see what can be tweaked, trimmed, edited, removed, and improved.

People who would like to participate in this process should reply with an 
email to the list. As a refresher in style, this essay has many good points:

The sooner this is finished the sooner we can get the translation files to 
the translators.
