Ah... What about dates to formulate a schedule :-)  Is this what you
have in mind,

 Release-0.7
 - Date    : ??
 - Changes : 50% of new words translated and incorporated into the
             golden wordlist proper

 Release-0.8:
 - Date    : ??
 - Changes : Complete new words completely and incorporate them into
             golden wordlist (this will mostly be exotic/outlandish*
             terms)

 Release-0.9:
 - Date    : ??
 - Changes : Include multiple translations per word.

(*) Not sure how/who will determine what is exotic/outlandish (need
    a systematic means to do that - break NewWords list down further ?)

Once we get to this part, we'll need to talk about a consistent syntax
to use to denote different meanings (this is very important) for the
same term.

Not sure what is being proposed here - sorry, if I'm being pushy, but
if I were someone who might consider working on this project I'd think
"oh, nothing I can do about that, someone else will do it" and so it
will lay dormant.  Do we need to break down the new words list down
further to make this happen ?  If so, who's doing what and when ? :-)

Salam and keep up the _great_ work.
