Hi All,

Just a followup, the project seems to be gaining momentum.  Currently 32
tips committed, and translations are happening slowly.  I have pinged
the ubuntu-translators mailing list asking for more help.

Here is a list of as yet, untouched suggestions:

Currently the process is perhaps flawed, as so far it's been me
approving suggestions and committing them to source.  I would perhaps
feel more comfortable if the suggestions so far committed, and future
ones were also checked by someone else.  Although they seem suitable to
me; my opinion is of course fallible.

Going forwards, I've already noticed the first duplicate suggestions. 
As i've been recommending people raise launchpad bugs for a suggestion,
hopefully LP automatically suggesting possible duplicates at report time
will help.  However, as this project is likely to become quite large, i
imagine it's going to be tricky to track duplicates.. So suggestions
other than grep welcome. :)

So if people want to help:
* We still need many more suggestions.  Personally i'm finding it quite
tricky to think of things that perhaps a novice server user would find
useful, and i suspect the rest of you will agree.  Many of the tips seem
"obvious", until you actually think about them.

* Could do with help processing suggestions:
   => In approval (marking as confirmed)
   => Improving the suggestion, normally via adding brevity to the
description

* Translations, i'm keen to try and get and get a base of translations
done before seeking inclusion in the archives.  Therefore, if people can
help with this aspect it would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Kind Regards,
Dave Walker
