Ah, let me echo back what I think I read.  You'd like to modify words
and have the ability to select certain ones for download ?  If so, you
already have the option to modify words, but you don't have the option
of downloading a select set of words -- let me know if I understood you
correctly.  You also have the option to add new words while logged-in
as the admin.

Not sure there is a request in that, but OK I'm happy you're cool with
what we've done so far :-)

Now this one threw me for a loop :-)  I read point #3 like 12 times and
still don't understand it.  There really is no relationship between
QaMoose and new/bad_words (you might be thinking of a mechanism I'm not
100% on or something).  But the idea here is for QaMoose's suggestions
once reviewed and approved to be downloaded and incorporated into our
Golden Wordlist files (the process should now be all scripted and should
leave very little to the imagination).  So Is there a request or a new
means you're proposing ?

Sorry if I'm being dense.

Salam.
