I'm taking this conversation off 'general' and bringing it here
where it belongs :-)

How about a systematic way to do this.  How about everytime a NEW
words file is completed AND at least one golden file is completed
(with multi-translations) we release (since from what I gathered
Mr. Al-Rasheedan is on multi's and Mr. Khayat is on NEW) ?  I realize
we only care about the golden files, but we need to get from under
the NEW files' shadow.

Since we have roughly 80,000 terms, with your suggestion we'd have
80,000/100 = 800 more releases ?  Don't think so :-)

So how about this, complete the multi's on _A and on _Z and we'll
release then we can enact a new rule (suggestion above) and go
from there.

Thoughts/comments/ideas ?
