Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't meant to rant. I just want to say things as I
feel them, in order to improve this already great tool :-)

BTW, it's time to repeat that frustration is also coming from the fact
that we're working here with closed-source software. Users are bound to
complain and developers get frustrated. 
This could soon become bug #2 :-/

A direct link to each string editing page would be welcome, of course.

IMHO, reviewing should be mostly package driven.

As team admin, I would like to get some excerpt (maybe 50 last
suggestions/translations) for a translator to be able to evaluate her
skills.

Many thanks for all you've already done :-)
