Yasser, nothing is insignificant. No matter how little it is, it is a
contribution as far as I am concerned.
That being said, newwords will take 350 days to go through given
the amount of output. I would suggest we don't spend this much
time on new_words due to type of words. They are just way off the
wall (majority of words). I just translate what I can translate from
the new_words and leave outlandish words blank.
I would finish half new_word and declare a new release, another new
release when the other half is done.
The fun part is to go over full_wordlist and provide multiple meanings
for a given word. This is a new ball game that needs to be addressed
once there to determine release date and frequency.
Lastly and again, we should skim through new_words and NOT
alocate resources and the proposed time on it.
