So what do the others think ?  Is this something we should get people
to look into and create for us ?

I think what the translators are missing as well is an instant sense of
satisfaction by seeing their work translated to something real (ie. for
them to see their work in action) - not sure if we can do anything there
either (a third-party VNC capable server was suggested on IRC that would
allow people to login and view the environment which would be updated
nightly, but I'm not sure it is worth the headaches).
